  Dear SAS community, I am trying to run weighted models for nested data (a panel survey) using PROC GLIMMIX; however, I keep getting an error and a warning (please see the SAS code and log below). I modified the Glimmix code a bit (added points and specified GCONV), but the error and the warning are still the same. When I remove the "obsweight=HCNSWGTR" and use method=laplace, the code runs just fine. Do you have any suggestions on how to address this issue? I have also attached my data. Thanks.   PROC GLIMMIX DATA = test1 METHOD=QUAD(FASTQUAD QPOINTS=100) plots=all; CLASS RAHHIDPN STRATCLUS GENDER(REF='1') RACE_ETH(ref='1') MARITAL(ref='1'); MODEL MOBILITY = BSAGE_C BSAGE_C*BSAGE_C GENDER GENDER*BSAGE_C RACE_ETH RACE_ETH*BSAGE_C RACE_ETH*GENDER TIME TIME*TIME TIME*BSAGE_C TIME*GENDER TIME*RACE_ETH/solution obsweight=HCNSWGTR ;/**LEVEL 1 VARIABLES**/ RANDOM INTERCEPT /subject=STRATCLUS type=VC ; RANDOM INTERCEPT /subject=RAHHIDPN(STRATCLUS) type=VC ; NLOPTIONS GCONV=0.00001; COVTEST/WALD; ODS OUTPUT parameterestimates=FIXED1 covparms=RAND1; RUN;     NOTE: PROCEDURE GLIMMIX used (Total process time): real time 24.92 seconds cpu time 11.03 seconds 326 PROC GLIMMIX DATA = test1 METHOD=QUAD(FASTQUAD QPOINTS=100) plots=all; 327 CLASS RAHHIDPN STRATCLUS GENDER(REF='1') RACE_ETH(ref='1') MARITAL(ref='1'); 328 MODEL MOBILITY = BSAGE_C BSAGE_C*BSAGE_C GENDER GENDER*BSAGE_C RACE_ETH RACE_ETH*BSAGE_C RACE_ETH*GENDER TIME TIME*TIME TIME*BSAGE_C TIME*GENDER TIME*RACE_ETH/solution obsweight=HCNSWGTR ; 330 RANDOM INTERCEPT /subject=STRATCLUS type=VC ; 331 RANDOM INTERCEPT /subject=RAHHIDPN(STRATCLUS) type=VC ; 332 NLOPTIONS GCONV=0.00001; 333 COVTEST/WALD; 334 ODS OUTPUT parameterestimates=FIXED1 covparms=RAND1; 335 RUN; WARNING: Class levels for RAHHIDPN are not printed because of excessive size.
