TEST subcommand in MIXED for linear dose effects

Kuila
Hi,

New user, please forgive errors!

I test fixed effect of DRUG with 3 levels and wish to see if there is a dose-dependent response in my outcome. I am trying to use TEST subcommand but get "wrong number of coefficients" or "L matrix not estimable"

syntax is

/TEST = 'Linear Trend Contrast 1 v 3' TEST_drug  -1/2 1 1/2

I have looked all through the manual and online help but found no better information. What am I doing wrong?

thank you  kuila

Swank, Paul R
For linear you should have -1 0 1.
