Proc PSMATCH not found

[Radwan]

Hello when i run psmatch statement as follows:

PROC PSMATCH data=pscorem region=cs;
TREAT AGE EDUC MARR
psmodel TREAT(p='1')=AGE EDUC MARR;
match method=optimal(k=1) stat=lps exact=educ caliper=0.25;
output out (obs=match)=radwan matchid=_natchid;
run;

i got error messsage as follows

117 PROC PSMATCH data=pscorem region=cs;
ERROR: Procedure PSMATCH not found.
118 TREAT AGE EDUC MARR
119 psmodel TREAT(p='1')=AGE EDUC MARR;
120 match method=optimal(k=1) stat=lps exact=educ caliper=0.25;
121 output out (obs=match)=radwan matchid=_natchid;
122 run;

please why and what does that mean?

[Kurt_Bremser]

Run proc setinit to see if you have SAS/STAT licensed. psmatch is a stat procedure.

[Tom]

What version of SAS are you running?  PSMATCH is a new procedure in SAS/STAT.

[Radwan]

does that mean i can not use my version for analyzing propensity score matching ?

please look at my response below 

what am i suppose to do ? 

[Kurt_Bremser]

PSMATCH was indeed added with SAS/STAT 14.2, which came with SAS 9.4M4:

What's New in SAS 9.4, SAS/STAT

Since software for the current release is included for free in your license, have your SAS Administrator get the current release and install it.

i m not sure about the current release coz i got the version from my supervisor.
so please what i have to do ?

Get the responsible people to update to the current version. Or make your supervisor aware that you will have to work around the lack of proc psmatch, at additional cost.

I see. but the propensity score matching method is very important to my research so i must update my version but i do not know the people who are responsible for the update. i wish there is a way through this website. btw thank you so much

You can't hope for help here. Installing SAS is a duty of the respective organization that uses it, and there it is the duty of the local SAS administrator.

Usually it's not that big a thing to be one or 2 maintenance levels behind, but in your case it's an issue, and you have to bring it to the attention of the people tasked with setting up your SAS installation.

PSMATCH was introduced in SAS/STAT 14.3 I believe. Check your license using:

Proc product_status;run;
