I am getting the following erro rmessage in ordistep.  I have a number of similarly structured datasets using ordistep in a loop, and the message only occurs for some of the datasets.  

I cannot include a reproducible sample  - the specific datasets where this is occur ing are fairly large and there are several pcnm's in the rhs of the formula.

thanks for any pointers that may allow me to track down the cause of the error.
