Have you specified the keyword to request the coefficients be printed? It sounds like you haven't and I think that is what you need to see. Look in the documentation for it.

Subject: Re: main effect of covariate in Repeated Measures Design
Yes yes, that's true of course. But what if there is a significant main effect of the moderator while there is no interaction? How can I learn anything about the direction of that main effect?
