Please help.
I ran your code without errors or message which indicates there may be something off about your install.
I would suggest 1) save the program, 2) shut down and restart SAS and 3) resubmit just this program. If the program executes then something you had done in the previous session caused a problem. If the same or similar error occurs then contact tech support.
Thank you Ballard! I appreciate it. I just restarted the enterprise guide and reran the program and received the same problem. I'll contact support. I also had a friend run it and she said it worked perfectly without a problem. This is what my output data looks like:
"25 1 low" . .
"30 1 low" . .
"31 0 low" . .
"13 1 mod" . .
"17 0 mod" . .
"21 1 mod" . .
"24 1 mod" . .
something is off...
Thanks again!!

That data looks like what I would expect you ran:
data rat;
length treatment $8;
input treatment $8. time event ;
datalines;
18 1 lowdose
23 1 lowdose
25 1 lowdose
;
or similar. You don't show WHICH variable isn't missing though.
If you are actually reading an external file instead of the datalines example you provided you might post the code used to read the external file. Or rerun the code and look closely at the log for any warning or notes about invalid data and such. If so post the code and log, preferably into a code box opened with the forum's {I} icon to preserve any warning or error formatting.

Any assistance is appreciated.

I believe that the '09' hex characters between your values are tabs. Either convert them to spaces, or use dlm='09'x on an infile statement to set the delimiters to tab characters.
