I apologize for my mischaracterization of your question.

The general question, however, still holds:  why are there so many
questions on SAS-L which could be answered more quickly by looking at
the documentation?

Thanks for everyone's response! I will check out STAT's discussion.

Jack, I have not found any proof that my question can be solved by
looking
n the SAS OnlineDoc, at least in an easy way. Yes, I have read through
all
the online documents on SYSLIN (which has 3sls built in), ARIMA,
TSCSREG
and Autoreg. SYSLIN is the only place where one can run a 3sls model,
but
as explained by my original question, it does not allow
autocorrelation
correction (AR(1)) within the framework of 3sls.

Regards,
