The GLIMMIX procedure might generate "An exception has been encountered" error message


PROC GLIMMIX might generate an exception error message similar to the following:

ERROR:  An exception has been encountered.

This issue occurs when all of the following conditions are met:

  1. PROC GLIMMIX contains the DIST=MULTINOMIAL | MULTI | MULT option in the MODEL statement.
  2. PROC GLIMMIX contains two or more RANDOM statements.
  3. PROC GLIMMIX contains a PARMS statement.

There is no workaround for this issue.
