Saving residuals of regression procedure in new data-set

[Marjolein]

Hi all,

I have a rather simple question. I want to create a new variable in my data-set with the residuals from a simple regression procedure. This is what I tried:

PROC reg data=a;

MODEL y=x;

OUTPUT out=b r=residual;

RUN;

However, when I try to open the data-set, it says:

ERROR: You cannot open 'dataset' for input access with record-level control because

'dataset' is in use by you in resource environment REG.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks a lot!

PROC REG requires a QUIT; at the end, not just a RUN;

Thank you this was really helpful because I was also stuck with a similar error message regarding saving residuals!
