Thank for for getting back to me. The ordinal variable is not in the class statement. I can see the results but everything is in a matrix format that makes interpretation difficult almost like SAS is trying to contrast every variable against each other variable and not presenting fixed effects and odds ratios in one table as with Proc Logistic. If it helps, code is below. (yes, I am a sociologist, running quite a few variables in the model) The outcome is binary (0/1) and LOGPPP is a second level variable for country purchasing power parity (logged), along with country for each country, RELATTEND, SOCLASS, and CHILD are ordinal variables. All others are dummy coded categorical variables. Again, thanks for the response. I tried the HLM software, did not care for it, and just started with Proc GLIMMIX. proc GLIMMIX data = WORK.NEWISLAM; class COUNTRY FREEBINARY PERFBEL BRELSAL RELPER GENDER AGECATS MARCATS EDUCATS INCATS; model NDCHLD (descending) = LOGPPP FREEBINAR PERFBEL BRELSAL RELATTEND RELPER GENDER AGECATS MARCATS EDUCATS INCATS SOCLASS CHILD / dist=binary link=logit ddfm=bw solution; random int / subject=COUNTRY solution; RUN; QUIT;
