I would add to Paul's sage advice by urging the original poster to move to PROC MIXED no matter what.

The sphericity assumption needed by PROC GLM to do repeated measures is usually not supported by the data.

The format required by PROC GLM for repeated measures is not natural for a SAS data set.

PROC MIXED gives far greater flexibility in the possible covariance structures and the ways of comparing covariance structures.

PROC MIXED handles missing values in a repeated measures analysis much more gracefully.

Do I need to go on?
