Error message: Invalid reference value for Health_Lit

Lucette — Mon, 20 Mar 2017 23:52:12 GMT

I am trying to run the code below for SAS 9.4.

Does anyone see any errors that would prevent me for setting reference values as shown?

proc logistic data=XXX;
by female;
class Health_Lit (ref='0') InsuranceType (ref='2') / order=internal;
model Medadh_c3 (descending) = PHQ8 GAD7 BL_PSS CIRS Health_Lit InsuranceType / link=glogit;
run;

Thank you,

No, but since you've specified the ORDER option, I wonder if you have a formatted value and you're using the internal value.

A small note from the documentation:

Specify the formatted value of the variable if a format is assigned.

Otherwise, please post your code and error from the log, as well as a PROC CONTENTS from the input dataset.
