Subject:      Deviation & Poisson

Hello everyone,
I would like to use 'deviation' coding and assume a 'Poisson' Model
in a model I am running. I have two interrelated questions regarding
the GENLOG and LOGLINEAR options.
1.  Is it possible to specify 'DEVIATION' coding of covariates within
the GENLOG command?
2.  I know that LOGLINEAR uses deviation coding as the default. If I
use LOGLINEAR instead of GENLOG, however, is it possible to
specify a 'POISSON' model within the LOGLINEAR syntax, or does it
automatically assume a 'multinomial' model?
Any comments or suggestions are appreciated.
