Floating Point Overflow with Proc Quantreg

[Tim_sas_]

Hello,

I would like to run several regressions using Proc Quantreg. My problem is that it shows the following error

message below (the dataset is relatively huge with more than 200,000 rows in total). I have already tried to google the error message but my search did not yield satisfactory results so far. Does someone have an idea how I could modify my code to make this work?

I would be very glad for any help.

Many thanks,

Tim

Proc quantreg Data=data_in CI=resampling;
Model earn = a b c d e / QUANTILE=.5;
Where 1998 <= year <= 2007;
Run;

Two (complementary) ways you could go about this if no other reply comes:

1. Reduce the data set to see if a threshold or if specific values cause this

2. Contact SAS tech support so the developer of the proc can have a look if needed
