Here is what I am trying to solve for:

Using the data set HW4D1, fit a log-linear negative-binomial regression modeling the number of home runs a player hit in the 1986 season (i.e. variable nhome), with the explanatory variable salary.  

Here is my code:

PROC IMPORT OUT= WORK.BASEBALL
DATAFILE= "C:\Users\kpwil\Downloads\HW4D1 (4).xlsx"
DBMS=EXCEL REPLACE;
RANGE="'HW4D1 (4)$'";
GETNAMES=YES;
MIXED=NO;
SCANTEXT=YES;
USEDATE=YES;
SCANTIME=YES;
RUN;
proc print data= Baseball;
run;

proc logistic data=baseball desc;
model y = nHome ;
run;

 

 

The output has an error: ERROR: VARIABLE Y NOT FOUND

 

It reads the data because I did a proc print and it came out fine, what should I do?

Is the variable really named "Y"?

no thanks, that is where I was incorrect there because I took the code from an example and I thought y was used as part of an equation. I actually needed to use proc genmod too.
