I'm having an issuing adding a "lackfit" statement to a proc regression model... I keep getting a "0" answer for my Pure Error Sum of Squares value, which I don't think is correct. If my data set has 3 X variables, is the lackfit statement still functional?

Lack-of-fit/pure error can only be computed if you have one or more exact replicates of your points (among the x-variables). You have zero exact replicates of your data points.
So SAS is giving the correct output.
