Hi all,

I use syntax below to run multiple variables - it was fine before but now I keep seeing these warnings:

[[

NOTE: The data set WORK.U has 1 observations and 0 variables.
NOTE: DATA statement used (Total process time):
real time 0.01 seconds
cpu time 0.00 seconds


ERROR: There are no valid observations.
NOTE: The SAS System stopped processing this step because of errors.
NOTE: PROCEDURE SURVEYLOGISTIC used (Total process time):
real time 0.00 seconds
cpu time 0.01 seconds

WARNING: Output 'SurveyLogistic.OddsRatios' was not created. Make sure that the output object
name, label, or path is spelled correctly. Also, verify that the appropriate procedure
options are used to produce the requested output object. For example, verify that the
NOPRINT option is not used.

ERROR: File WORK.OUT_TABLE.DATA does not exist.]]

 

Please advise what should be revised to have correct output.

Thank you!

Hao

Determine which run causes your SURVEYLOGISTIC proc to fail.

Run the macro with options MPRINT and SYMBOLGEN to see the full details.

 

if it's been running previously and isn't now, it's most likely a data issue. We don't have your data and therefore can't tell you what's causing the issue. 

That being said, I'm assuming this is true and not checking your code for syntax errors.

Figure out why your surveylogistic procedure is failing.

I think the error is [ERROR: File WORK.OUT_TABLE.DATA does not exist.]

I do some google search and see that many reported the same - file [out_table] is not recognized or linked.

I figured it out.
