Is it possible to estimate a two level poisson model using genlinmixed? I had expected that it would be given an reply to a question about multilevel mixed model with a non-normal level 1 distribution, I think, it was a logistic distribution. My syntax statement is

GENLINMIXED /DATA_STRUCTURE SUBJECTS=REC*MON/FIELDS TARGET=MONDV/

   TARGET_OPTIONS DISTRIBUTION=POISSON LINK=LOG/

   RANDOM USE_INTERCEPT=TRUE SUBJECTS=MON.

I get a warning

Which suggests my model can not be estimated. But, have I omitted something?

I noticed that an example of a multilevel normal distribution model but nothing with logistic regression, for example.
