Angela,

First, I have to doubt your statement that the formats are less than 16 in
length. \
The proc should work fine as long as none of the formatted values are
duplicates within the first 16 characters.
If you just need to get rid of the warning, uUnless you need the formatted
values in your output, you can turn them off by including:
FORMAT TRT TRT_SEQ;

HTH,
Dennis Diskin

Hi,
I have a little problem concerning a WARNING in the log.

My code is:

proc mixed data=s.lung_c(where=(itt and sched=98 )) method=reml;
class  period trt_seq age_c trt;
model dfev1 = trt period  age_c trt_seq ;
repeated trt/ type=cs subject=pno;
lsmeans /cl pdiff;
run;

Unfortunately the log window give me the WARNINGS
312 WARNING: Length of CLASS variable TRT_SEQ truncated to 16.
312 WARNING: Length of CLASS variable TRT truncated to 16.

although all formats on numeric TRT_SEQ and TRT are shorter than 16
characters.
I just want to get rid of this WARNINGs if possible. Does anybody know
how I can achieve this????


Thanks for your help

Angela
