I think all the comments supplied by other posters are relevant.
Of course you should check to make sure that SAS is reading the input
matrix correctly, as was pointed out. However, even assuming that you
did everything correctly I'm not surprised that SAS has a problem
factoring the matrix. A c

I'm not a SAS expert; but the error messages you quote look like what one
might expect if the correlation matrix had been output as the lower
triangular half only, and the factor procedure were expecting the complete
square matrix. You didn't supply your protocol for creating the
correlation ma
I ran a SAS macro and output a tetrachoric correlation matrix of 236
variables successfully. However, when I ran a factor analsyis using the
