The warning is that you have no destination active for the printed output of the proc

Given you are writing the results to the a dataset I assume you don't care or want listed output (if you do try LinLin response).

     Add the following option NOPRINT

open EG

TOOLS--->options---->results

figure it out from there there

once you select output

it should fix your problem
