Another option is Proc CALIS with a path analysis model. If don't want to restrict the paths to be equal for X1 and X2, use different path names. ods html path="c:\temp"; ods graphics on; proc calis data=thedata method=ml kurtosis modification plots=residuals effpart; path X3 X4 ---> X1= P_X3_X1N2 P_X4_X1N2 , X3 X4 ---> X2= P_X3_X1N2 P_X4_X1N2; var X1-X4; TestPath=P_X3_X1N2 - P_X4_X1N2; testfunc TestPath; run; ods graphics off; ods html close; I think the test statistic will be a Wald statistic. Hope this helps. Brandy
