SAS file is returning blank rows

Hi All,

I ran SAS code having multiple models, but one of the model report is returning empty rows.

Could you please assist me on this with priority.

Regards

No one can help you unless you provide a lot more detail.

As @WarrenKuhfeld says, details are needed.

Likely the best start of sharing the needed details is the LOG. Copy the text from the log of the model code with all the notes through whatever report code was used if any. On the forum open a text box by clicking on the </> icon above the message box and pasting the text.

The log will have information about many possible issues that could do such. If you have closed down your session or cleared the log then you would want to rerun the code enough to generate the output again so you have a fresh log to work with.

Hi,

I agree with everything that has already been said. If the log does not show any errors, warnings, etc. then this might be an issue of data, so ensure the data you expect to be there is actually there. Is this your first attempt to create the models or have you created them before? If you have created them before then ask yourself if there have been any recent changes to code, data, setup, etc.

Remember we cannot see your code, data, setup, requirements, restrictions, software, business / logic rules, desired results, etc., so what might be obvious to you might not be obvious to others. E.g., if I asked someone for help because what I'm cooking is not correct, then I would also need to share other details such as what I want to cook, what ingredients I have, what issues I came across, what I've done different this time compared to how I have done it in the past, etc.

Thanks & kind regards,

Amir.
