I have not seen a reply to this post so here goes:
I checked the SAS web site but did not find any hits for ITEM
\_pages_\_page_# . I googled this and found some SASL posts from about two
years ago but these involved running SQL in a macro loop and the problem
appears to have been caused by problems with macro variables. Since you
show ordinary code, let me suggest that you make a subset of your data and
include only the by group that causes the problem. Then simplify your code
and see if it runs and if it does not, start running simpler versions until
if hopefully works.
FWIW, I just ran your code on a very simply data set with dummy by
variables and the code ran with no problems so I guess that the problem is
a lot deeper.
In case there is some physical problem with the data set, you might try
copying it to a different drive or folder. If this does not work and you
have not found any other problem, I suggest that you send a description of
the problem to support@sas.com. If you go to the tech support website, you
will find a page for sending in problems. They will probaby need a copy of
your log as well as the code and probably the data.
Also, when you learn the answer, please post it to the group since this is
an rare problem with little information available.

Hi All,
I am trying to run regression to predict price using volume and i am
getting this weird error.
The code looks like
proc reg data = pas.initial_before_si4 outest=pas.est COVOUT;
Model evrday_price = volume;
output out=pas.prediction4 P=predicted_price4 R=residual_price4;
by keyaccount region location_descr package ;
where keyaccount not in (0, .) and volume not in (0,.) ;
run;
When i am running this code i get the error mentioned below.
ERROR: ITEM \_pages_\_page_#1585 does not exist.
ERROR: ITEM \_pages_\_page_#1585 does not exist.
NOTE: The above message was for the following by-group:
keyaccount=746 REGION=24 LOCATION_DESCR=Olathe package=371017119
NOTE: Interactivity disabled with BY processing.
NOTE: PROCEDURE REG used (Total process time):
real time 27.76 seconds
cpu time 7.67 seconds
Can somebody Please help me in rectifying what the issue is .
1) Is the issue only with the data ?
2) Is there some kind of a coding issue.
Thanks,
Meesum
