SAS/Stat Survival Analysis: PROC PHREG
Macro Errors
•Macros Using PROC PHREG, developed prior to SAS9.2 will run into errors if
macros are using default output names
•Usage Note 37170 : Variable name in ParameterEstimates table changed from
'Variable' to 'Parameter'
•Code: Output ParameterEstimate=PE(rename=(Parameter=Variable));
•This Topic covered in usage notes: http://support.sas.com/kb/37/170.html
•In SAS9.2, Plots=Survival (CL), ODS Graphics plot does not extend the survival
confidence limits to the last time for censored observations.
•This Topic is covered in usage notes: http://support.sas.com/kb/35/951.html

SAS/Stat Survival Analysis: Proc PHREG
Hazard Ratios
•GLM Parameterization: Wald Confidence limits provided by the
HAZARDRATIO might be incorrect
•Proc PHREG;
•Class Gender Group/Param=GLM;
•Model Duration*Censor(1)=Gender X Group
X*Group;
•Solution: Need to Compute Custom Hazards Ratios
•HotFix

SAS/Stat Survival Analysis: Proc PHREG
Other Changes
•Estimation Method: Default method for estimating survival function has
changed to Cumulative Hazards from Product Limit (Method=CH Vs.
Method=PL). Implication: If default method has been used in the past, the
option needs to be changed for reproducing the same results.
•More memory for survival analysis (Usage Notes: 37830)
•Where statements may lead to syntax error
•Example: Proc Phreg(where(age=1 or age=2) and x=‘B’ data=a;
•Fix: Proc Phreg Data=a(where=((age=1 or age=2) and x=‘B’));
•On the Good Side: A Class Option in Phreg!

Steps for checking JRE Version
1. Check to see if you have this a jvm.dll file here
C:\Program Files\Java\JRE1.5.0_12\bin\client\jvm.dll
2. Open a command prompt and go to C:\Program
Files\Java\JRE1.5.0_12\bin\
Issue the following at the prompt: java -version
Save results for Tech Support:
3. Check your config file: c:\program
files\sas\sasfoundation\9.2\nls\en\sasv9.cfg
Search for the -jreoptions line
Review every thing that you see on the -jreoptions line
4. Review the logs in the following folder: C:\Documents and
Settings\userid\Application Data\SAS\LOGS
