 GENLINMIXED without any output or errorcode

Hi there!
I want to conduct the following syntax:

GENLINMIXED

/DATA_STRUCTURE SUBJECTS="level1"*"cases"

/FIELDS TARGET="binary dependent variable"

/TARGET_OPTIONS DISTRIBUTION=BINOMIAL LINK=LOGIT

/FIXED EFFECTS="indepent variables"

/BUILD_OPTIONS TARGET_CATEGORY_ORDER=DESCENDING INPUTS_CATEGORY_ORDER=DESCENDING

/RANDOM USE_INTERCEPT=TRUE SUBJECTS="cases"

/PRINT CPS DESCRIPTIVES MODELINFO FITTEST PARAMETERESTIMATES.

However, even with things such as OMSEND or using different variables, I do not get any output or error notifications. The processor is not "loading" and is just awaiting my next command without even providing output for this syntax. I only receive, in my output, this formula (without tables/case summary/errors). I tried some different things, for example if I conduct a Linear Mixed Model I will get any output. 

Does someone encountered this problem too or does someone have the answer or solutions for this problem?

Many thanks in advance!

Hi @Elisabeth Groeneveld
What version and platform are you using when you encounter this issue in IBM SPSS Statistics?

The syntax alone, out of context, is not very useful to me.  If you could provide a sample dataset -- or better still replicate the problem using one of the example datasets that ship with the product under ../Samples/<language>/ in the product install path.  That would be great.
