Problem Note 64609: The NLMIXED procedure issues ERROR: An unknown error has occurred during the likelihood computation with NTHREADS= option
 |  |  |  |  |
PROC NLMIXED might stop processing and issue the following log message, if you specify the NTHREADS= option and an ARRAY statement:
ERROR: An unknown error has occurred during the likelihood computation with NTHREADS= option.
To circumvent the problem, specify the array elements in the programming statements used to construct the log likelihood instead of using an ARRAY statement.
