Problem Note 51696: Missing trial value at end of previous BY-group causes floating point error in PROC GLIMMIX
When you use the events/trials syntax for the dependent variable in the MODEL statement in PROC GLIMMIX and BY-processing is done, if the trials variable contains any missing values in last observation in a preceding BY-group and you request any ODS Statistical Graphics with the PLOTS= option, then the procedure issues the following error messages:
ERROR: Invalid Operation.
ERROR: Floating point exception
To circumvent the problem, delete the observations with missing values for the trials variable before performing the analysis, or omit the PLOTS= option.
