Hi,
I am running thousands of models in genmod in a search algorithm and I need to identify models that don't converge:
ERROR: The mean parameter is either invalid or at a limit of its range for some observations.
And create a macro variable to do conditional statements based on the convergence status. How can I create an indicator macro variable based on the presence of this error?
Also, in general, if there is a standard methodology for creating macro variables from errors in the log that would be great.
The success or failure (of most PROC or DATA steps) is stored in the automatic macro variable &SYSERR. This macro variable can be interrogated to determine further processing. Assuming that you are running the GENMOD within a macro loop, checking &SYSERR should be straightforward.

Nice, that will work!
