Floating Point Zero Divide with constant dependent variable


If you have a constant dependent variable, specify SELECTION = FORWARD, BACKWARD or STEPWISE on the MODEL statement, and specify either the OUTEST= or GRAPHICS option on the proc statement or any of the CORR, COLLIN, COLLINOINT, COV, SEQB, I, STB, TOL, VIF, PCORR1, PCORR2, SCORR1, SCORR2, SS1 or SS2 options on the MODEL statement, PROC REG may terminate with:

     ERROR: Floating Point Zero Divide

To circumvent the problem, change the PROC REG step so that all of theseconditions are not met.
