Hi all,

I can't get the Store command to work in SAS University Edition. I get the error message that the file ' NEFA.vc' does not exist or is not a valid item store when I try to use my stored data in the proc plm procedure. I have tried everything I can think of, creating a new library (NEFA), changing the dataset location, using an 'out=' under the store statement, etc. I can't find any resources with a solution online so thought I would post my question here. My code is as follows:

 

libname NEFA '/folders/myfolders/';

 

data NEFA.revisions;
set revisions;
run;

 

proc mixed data=NEFA.revisions;
class condition time Subject_ID;
model glucose=condition time time*condition / ddfm=Kenwardroger;
random Subject_ID;
repeated condition / subject=Subject_ID rcorr;
store NEFA.vc;
run;

 

proc plm source=NEFA.vc;
lsmeans condition / adjust=tukey lines plot=meanplot;
run;

 

Any help would be much appreciated! Thanks!

This was as close as I could get to your question, without data and finding fake data.

The only thing missing is the RANDOM portion. 

Does this work for you in SAS UE?

Can you run a PROC CONTENTS right after your first data step, check what is in your data set. Post the output here if you need to.

 

data NEFA.revisions;
set revisions;
run;

proc contents data=nefa.revisions;
run;

Proc contents works just fine. Everything works perfectly except the store command. I get output from the proc mixed procedure, but then proc plm can't use the output. Here is a screenshot of the proc contents output:

Try changing your STORE line to:

Store out=nfea.vc;

Thanks Reeza, I’ve already tried that, it doesn’t work. I get the same error message.

Hey Reeza,

 

Sorry for the delay in responding, I've been in meetings. Yes, I can run the code you posted perfectly. I was about to copy over the logbook and attach it here when I realized the logbook said that the model failed to converge and so deleted the output file, which I think is the answer to the problem I've been having! Anyways, thanks again!
