How to interpret error "READ ACCESS VIOLATION MCMC"

[sg248]

Hello,

I am programming a random effects logit model with repeated measures. The random effect is only an intercept. I have adapted code from the example provided here:

https://support.sas.com/documentation/cdl/en/statug/63962/HTML/default/viewer.htm#statug_mcmc_sect05...

I am using Proc MCMC in SAS 9.4 on Windows 7.

The error I keep running into is the following:

ERROR: An exception has been encountered.
Please contact technical support and provide them with the following

I am not sure what this error means.

Greatly appreciate any pointers.

A read access violation means that SAS has encountered a problem and can't deal with it gracefully. As your log states you should track this to SAS Tech Support with the log included. They are in the best position to help.
