Error using Proc Traj

subhendu — Sun, 17 Apr 2016 13:01:38 GMT

While trying to run Proc Traj for the first time I am encountering the following error message

PROC TRAJ DATA=TRAJ4 OUTPLOT=OP OUTSTAT=OS OUT=OF OUTEST=OE ITDETAIL;

----

NOTE: An external program, not a SAS procedure, is being executed.

ERROR 22-322: Syntax error, expecting one of the following: ;, AUDIT, CC, CLEANUP.

ERROR 76-322: Syntax error, statement will be ignored.

15 ID ID; VAR O1-O2; INDEP T1-T2;

16 MODEL CNORM; MAX 2; NGROUPS 2; ORDER 3 3;

17 RUN;

NOTE: The SAS System stopped processing this step because of errors.

NOTE: PROCEDURE TRAJ used (Total process time):

real time 0.01 seconds

cpu time 0.01 seconds

What may be a problrm here?

Please search on the forum for previous questions about PROC TRAJ. As you can see from the note, PROC TRAJ is NOT a SAS Procedure. I remember that is it a user-written procedure. So it is supported by the person who wrote it.

From this paper, it looks like it was written by researches at Carnegie-Mellon:

And this appears to be the CMU web site:

Subhendu, could you run proc traj in SAS.

I tried to install the package for PROC TRAJ but it sounds like I do not have enough knowledge to do so. This webpage https://www.andrew.cmu.edu/user/bjones/ provides information to install the Stata version and not the SAS version. Any comments on that?

Thanks,
