Subject:      Matrix input for regression
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"

I tried to analyse a VarCov-Matrix as follows using the REGRESSION procedure
and keep getting the error message
 
**Warnings
**The ROWTYPE variable has a value that is invalid for matrix input.
**This command not executed.
 
ROWTYPE_ VARNAME_      ANGST   MOTIVATN   RIGIDITT   INTELLGZ
 
N                    50,0000    50,0000    50,0000    50,0000

COV      MOTIVATN   214,0000   449,0000  -325,0000   -29,0000
COV      RIGIDITT   340,0000  -325,0000   745,0000    -5,0000
COV      INTELLGZ  -184,0000   -29,0000    -5,0000   229,0000
 
I do not encounter any difficulties when supplying standard devs and
correlations
instead of the covariance matrix.
 
Your help is greatly appreciated,
Thomas Otter
