Problem Note 12395: No valid observations error message in Proc SURVEYLOGISTIC with the use
of the CLUSTER and STRATA statement
If you have applied formats to the variables on the STRATA statement
and/or the CLUSTER statement, SURVEYLOGISTIC will incorrectly declare
observations as missing and issue the following message:
ERROR: No valid observations due to missing values in the response,
explanatory, frequency, or weight variable, or due to nonpositive
frequency or weight values.
The only circumvention for the problem is to remove the formats from the
variables.
