Hi,

i'm attempting to run a 3 level model on a large number of cases, and it breaks down due an "insufficient memory", as shown in the message.

"Warnings
Insufficient memory to estimate the model parameters.
This command is not executed".

I've tried both ML and REML methods, but this persists. Does anyone have any deas? is a way to reallocate memory when running SPSS that offers a partial work around?  

many thanks,
