SAS error for proc traj: An external program, not a SAS procedure, is being executed

prp1 — Fri, 25 Mar 2022 13:20:33 GMT

I have installed proc traj but I am getting the following error in SAS after running proc traj.

code: proc traj data=ds.miss outplot=op;
var bmi1-bmi60;
indep visit_date1-visit_date60;
model logit;
ngroups 2;
order 0 1;
id anon_id;
run;

Error:

proc traj data=ds.miss outplot=op;
----
22
76
NOTE: An external program, not a SAS procedure, is being executed.

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

171 model logit;
172 ngroups 2;
173 order 0 1;
174 id anon_id;
175 run;

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

Hello,

What SAS version are you running?

Submit

%PUT &=sysvlong4;

to find out !

With these non-SAS 'owned' procedures, like PROC TRAJ , PROC LCA , SUDAAN , ...
, the mismatch between the PROC and the SAS version might be an issue.

Also 32-bit vs. 64-bit might be an issue.

Good luck,

Koen

I am using SAS 9.4.

I downloaded 64-bit. Will try with 32-bit.

Thanks.

Is SAS 9.4 installed on your PC or a remote SAS server? Remote SAS server versions are always 64-bit. If SAS is on your PC then being 32-bit is possible - check in your Windows Control Panel to confirm.

My localhost SAS 9.4 M7 is running on 64-bits :

%PUT &=SYSHOSTINFOLONG;
SYSHOSTINFOLONG=X64_10PRO WIN 10.0.19041  Workstation
