PROC GENMOD AND GETTING RID OF ERRORS

I am getting the error:

ERROR: No valid observations due to invalid or missing values in the response, explanatory,

offset, frequency, or weight variable. in my proc genmod code. How can I fix this? I have merged my three data sets and just need to run the poisson regression. PLEASE HELP!!

Well, the error is correct. How you've combined your data generates missing for all values, so you need to fix your input data first.

We don't know how your data should be structured, so I can't comment on that. Post more details, for furhter help. Note that it's the data combination that's incorrect.

set EightPUcompjuly EightPUcoachjuly eightharmsjuly;

No observation has a value for both compmeas and coachtype

The data does not align on a one-to-one basis but I am seeking to identify the relationship between the three variable using the Poisson. Was combining the datasets the best option to do this? How else should I combine?

If the data does not align on a one-to-one basis ... then you cannot do this type of PROC GENMOD analysis; nor can I think of any other way to do this ananlysis.
