genlinmixed and missing data

[Maguin, Eugene]

​I was using genlinmixed yesterday for a dataset with missing data on both DV and IVs and it wouldn't process records with missing data in the manner of other spss routines, which stunned me. Execution failed unless the missing data records were deleted. Could there have been something i was doing wrong or needed to do differently? 

Thanks, Gene Maguin

According to the CSR,

"Records with missing values for any field on the DATA_STRUCTURE subcommand are not used in the

analysis."

so there must be something else going on.
