Hello,

I am new to sas and running the proc traj analysis. I am trying to run the analysis on a data set i created in excel just creating random numbers to see if my analysis will work. When I run the code that I have obtained from the proc traj site, I get the error that I have in the title. This is the code I use: 

PROC TRAJ DATA=OPPOSITN OUTPLOT=OP OUTSTAT=OS OUT=OF OUTEST=OE ITDETAIL;
    ID ID; VAR O1-O7; INDEP T1-T7;
    MODEL CNORM; MAX 10; NGROUPS 3; ORDER 3 3 3;
RUN;
%TRAJPLOT(OP,OS,'Opposition vs. Scaled Age','Cnorm Model','Opposition','Scaled Age')

This is the code I copied and I switched it to this: 

PROC TRAJ DATA=Sample OUTPLOT=OP OUTSTAT=OS OUT=OF OUTEST=OE ITDETAIL;
ID ID; VAR TO1-TO4; INDEP D1-D4;
MODEL CNORM; MAX 10; NGROUPS 3; ORDER 3 3 3;
RUN;
%TRAJPLOT(OP,OS,'Opposition vs. Scaled Age','Cnorm Model','Opposition','Scaled Age')

Any ideas why it is not working? Thank you!

Again..first error:

 

ERROR: VAR data is outside of the range of MIN=0.00 and MAX=10.00
NOTE: The SAS System stopped processing this step because of errors.
NOTE: There were 10 observations read from the data set WORK.SAMPLE.

 

I think this is an error from PROC TRAJ so I would check their documentation regarding the restrictions on the VAR variable and see what you need to change in your data to make it fit within the procedure.

Maybe a basic question, but have to check....

 

Have you installed the TRAJ procedure modules?  TRAJ is not included with SAS -- it was developed by 3rd party researchers/developers.  Download is here:

 

https://www.andrew.cmu.edu/user/bjones/download.htm

 

You would need admin access to your SAS environment to install these.

Hi,

Yes, I have installed everything. When I run the sample data from that site with their code, everything runs smoothly so I just wanted to try doing it with my own data.

Ok, so you fix errors in the order they appear. The first error is actually:

 

ERROR: Variable TO1 not found.

 

Can you please verify that in the data set called, SAMPLE that you have a variable called TO1?

You can do that via PROC CONTENTS. Note that I'm not sure if it's T01 (zero) vs TO1 (letter o). I suspect that's the mistake. 

 

proc contents data=sample;run;

Hello,

I have fixed this issue. I changed the T01 to Tes01.

This is the new log:

29 ID ID; VAR Tes01-Tes04; INDEP D1-D4;
