Proc GLIMMIX ODS Output Error

[mikemangini]

I am using the proc glimmix procedure with ODS OUTPUT statement. I am puzzled by the error I received when trying to output estimates for random effects. Has anyone encountered this issue?

PROC GLIMMIX DATA=BSHP /*NOCLPRINT*/ MAXLMMUPDATE=100;

CLASS H_S_ID AGE_GRP PRIOR_CSECTION ADMIT_WEEKDAY RACE_DESC &comorbidities.;

ODS OUTPUT SOLUTIONR=R;

MODEL COMPOSITE_COMPLICATION(event="1") = AGE_GRP PRIOR_CSECTION ADMIT_WEEKDAY RACE_DESC &comorbidities./D=B LINK=LOGIT SOLUTION;

RANDOM INTERCEPT/SUBJECT=H_S_ID;

RANDOM _RESIDUAL_;

OUTPUT OUT=PRED_1

    PRED(BLUP ILINK)=PREDPROB PRED(NOBLUP ILINK)=EXPPROB;

NLOPTIONS TECH=NRRIDG;

run;

WARNING: Output 'SOLUTIONR' was not created.  Make sure that the output object name, label, or

         path is spelled correctly.  Also, verify that the appropriate procedure options are

         used to produce the requested output object.  For example, verify that the NOPRINT

         option is not used.

Best,

Mike

You can only get the EBLUPs with the ods output file if you specify S as an option on the random statement. Just put S after the /.
