Hi,
I am confused with the following code
I run the following code :

proc anova data=study_all;
title 'Analysis for Survey';
class survey;
model emotional=survey/t;
means survey;
run;

and I got the following Error message...What I am doing wrong?
Thank you in advance,

Irin

Perhaps the TITLE statement should not be a part of the proc step. Try putting it before you run the Proc Anova procedure.

Title /shouldn't/ be the problem (but might still be). Title is a non-executable statement, ie runs before the rest of the step even compiles, so should have no effect on the step.
My guess is that there is an unclosed quote or something similar further up your program, the syntax looks OK compared to the doco for the procedure:-

The fact that it is complaining just after a quoted string is a possible tell-tale there.

Chris' Prime debug tip - If the code that produces the error message seems to be fine, check that the steps before worked exactly as they should.

I assume that the problem probably was caused by unnapproper use of proc Anova ...because my data in Class are not really paired. In other words, Not all Members in Survey0 are necessarily appear in Survey1 and not the most members from Survey 1 necessarily appear in Survey2 and so on.

Also a lot of values under Emotional Field are empty. Others are numeric....

Therefore I am thinking about another Proc that I could use for my case. What do you think?
I am new in Statistics. Could you please give me a hand?

Thank You,

Irin
