Hello Art,

You were right. I just reduced the model terms and it significantly reduced the run time. I cut down 6-way interaction to 3-way interaction and few useful 4 way interactions without using the vertical bars.

Thank you!!! Bhupinder

Bhupinder,

The critical post in that thread, I thought, was the solution that worked of breaking the analysis into sections. I believe the OP, in that thread, was doing an analysis quite similar to the one you are trying to do.
