Bug when predicting values with PROC GLM

[Demographer]

Hi,

I performed a regression with proc GLM using these commands (the dataset is attached):

proc glm data=act.taux_activite;
class education(ref='Aucun') region(ref='NIAME') sexe(ref='Masculin') grage(ref='30_34');
model logittaux = grage education region sexe grage*sexe grage*education/solution;
output out=test predicted=plogittaux;
run;

I want predicted values, so I added the statement output out=test predicted=plogittaux;

I manage to have parameters, but for I reason I don't get, the procedure keeps running, and the output dataset "test" is never created.

Is something wrong with my codes?

GLM is an interactive procedure and needs a quit; statement to end. Your code does not have that, so it might be that your procedure stays active.

EG usually takes care of that by issuing the "magic" sequence designed to end everything for good:

;*';*";*/;quit;run;

I ran your code with the data in datalines, and immediately got this log:

27         data taux_activite;
28         infile datalines dlm=',' truncover;
29         input Region :$5. grage :$5. Sexe :$10. education :$10. taux logittaux;
30         datalines;

NOTE: The data set WORK.TAUX_ACTIVITE has 832 observations and 6 variables.
NOTE: DATA statement used (Total process time):
      real time           0.01 seconds
      cpu time            0.01 seconds
      
863        ;

864        run;
865        
866        proc glm data=taux_activite;
867        class education(ref='Aucun') region(ref='NIAME') sexe(ref='Masculin') grage(ref='30_34');
868        model logittaux = grage education region sexe grage*sexe grage*education/solution;
869        output out=test predicted=plogittaux;
870        run;

871        quit;

NOTE: The data set WORK.TEST has 832 observations and 7 variables.
NOTE: The PROCEDURE GLM printed pages 1-4.
NOTE: PROCEDURE GLM used (Total process time):
      real time           0.08 seconds
      cpu time            0.03 seconds
      

and got control back with a properly finished procedure.
