Hi Janey,
 
my guess is that there is a global macro variable called i set either
in /bio/janey/Thesis/glmm611.sas or in the macro %glimmix (are these
the same?) and that it is being set to a value >100 which would mean
that after the %inc or the macro call, the loop variable also is >100
which means the loop will not execute again.
 
Btw, if /bio/janey/Thesis/glmm611.sas contains only the definition of
the glimmix macro I would move the %inc statement out of the loop and
save loading the file 100 times!
 
cheers, Martin

Thanks,
