The unnamed propensity score program is probably failing to fit a probit
or logit on the propensity to be treated, where the dependent variable
is the treatment. This variable must be 0/non-zero; the error is the
usual one seen when logit or probit is fed a dependent which doesn't
have zero values.

Generate a treatement variable that is 1 if treated and zero otherwise.
