Dear SAS _L: I am working on an anaysis using proc glimmix. When I put subject= option in the random statement, I got error message for the estimate statement. Please see below sas log. I would really appreciate it if any one can help me out.

The reason I want to keep subject= option is that I am constructing a model with random intercept and slop.

proc glimmix data=two noclprint noitprint ;

class plan;

model numhit(event='1')=/s dist=bin link=logit ddfm=bw or ; random plan; estimate 'plan diff 1 vs 2' |plan 1 -1 0 0 0; run;

NOTE: Convergence criterion (PCONV=1.11022E-8) satisfied.

NOTE: PROCEDURE GLIMMIX used (Total process time):

real time 0.62 seconds

cpu time 0.62 seconds
