I want to use PROC IRT to score data using item parameters that were created outside of SAS. Can anyone explain (perhaps with an example) how to create a file that SAS will accept in the INMODEL(SCORE) option of the PROC IRT statement?
Attached is a command file that demonstrates what I'm trying to do. The first PROC IRT generates the estimates (for the sake of demonstration--this part would be done outside of SAS in the example I'm describing), and the second PROC IRT attempts to read a data file that I created that contains the estimates. Obviously, I'm not creating the data file correctly, because PROC IRT doesn't recognize the number of groups even though it's specified in the first line of the data file.
