Proc Genmod does not converge

[Tolawak]

Hi every one,

I am a new SAS user and trying to calculate RR of binary outcome using log Poisson distribution. But my model didn't converge even after specifying the convergence option as follow;

Proc format;
value WDP_Terttile 0='T1' 1='T2' 2='T3' ;
Proc genmod descending data = Biomark.bloodprofile30 ;
class WDP_Terttile muspgen income21cat rcig21_c rrrchalc21_c reduc21_c TVHrPerW CBMI21c codea;
model TAG_status30=WDP_Terttile muspgen age21ffq income21cat rcig21_c rrrchalc21_c reduc21_c TVHrPerW CBMI21c LEnergy_kC/dist = poisson link=log lrci type3 converge=0.000000001;
repeated subject = codea/ type = unstr;
estimate 'T2 vs T1' WDP_Terttile -1 1 0 0/exp;
estimate 'T3 vs T1' WDP_Terttile -1 0 1 0/exp;
estimate 'Female vs Male' muspgen -1 1 /exp;
estimate 'Age at 21' age21ffq 1 /exp;
estimate 'Middle vs High' income21cat -1 1 0 /exp;
estimate 'Low vs High' income21cat -1 0 1 /exp;
estimate 'smokers vs None' rcig21_c -1 1 /exp;
estimate 'moderate vs light' rrrchalc21_c -1 1 0 /exp;
estimate 'heavy vs light' rrrchalc21_c -1 0 1 /exp;
estimate 'Comp Highsch vs Post sec' reduc21_c -1 1 0 /exp;
estimate 'Inc Highsch vs Post sec' reduc21_c -1 0 1 /exp;
estimate '2-4h vs < 2h' TVHrPerW -1 1 0 /exp;
estimate '> 4h vs < 2h' TVHrPerW -1 0 1 /exp;
estimate 'overweight vs Normal' CBMI21c -1 1 0 /exp;
estimate 'Obese vs Normal' CBMI21c -1 0 1 /exp;
estimate 'Energy' LEnergy_kC 1/exp;
format WDP_Terttile WDP_Terttile.;
run;

Is there some one who could help me with this, please? I thank you in advance for your concern and time,

This will apply to PROC GENMOD

Thanks Paige,

It seems what you sent me is for Proc GEE; what I need is for Proc Genmod.

Thanks again.

I specifically said it applies to PROC GENMOD.
