PROC GLIMMIX IS NOT CONVERGING! I get an error message

WARNING: Obtaining minimum variance quadratic unbiased estimates as starting values for the

         covariance parameters failed. I first tried d=b link=clogit. My prof suggested deleting the d=b. My outcome is ordinal (1-4)

Well, the obvious first step would be to apply a multinomial distribution (dist=mult, or d=mult, with link=clogit).

This worked for me in translating the example in the PROC GENMOD documentation (Example 43.4 Ordinal Model for Multinomial Data) to a GLIMMIX framework.
