Hello

I am working on a research with logistic regression, but when I enter some extra variables to a model which ran just fine, I receive the following message:
glmm: There are no valid records for the LOGIT link function. No output will be displayed. Execution of this command stops.

I am working with SPSS 23. It is a rather small database I am working with, but I would be surprised if that was the cause of all trouble. The Syntax I am using is the following:

Is there anybody familiar with this error and, more important, has a solution? Thanks in advance.
