Dear d_labes,
Thanks for your test of my SAS code.

Now, I can manually calculate LSM to obtain the same result of WinNonlin and SAS. But new problem arises.

Both WNL and SAS give us the same SE for R and T, why?
The SE and 90%CI for R and T are not equal within WNL and SAS, which will be reliable? (Even for equal sequences data)

Let's take my results for my unequal sequences data as example:

In WNL:
For original data, I get:
Treatment   LSM      SE    CI level T_critical LowerCI  UpperCI
1         235.1521 12.7463   90       1.727    213.1332 257.1711
2         231.8667 12.7463   90       1.727    209.8477 253.8856


For "Ln(x)" transformed data, I get:
Treatment   LSM      SE    CI level T_critical LowerCI  UpperCI
1           5.4356  0.0563   90       1.721     5.3387   5.5326
2           5.4266  0.0563   90       1.721     5.3296   5.5235


In SAS:
For original data, I get:
                                                                           H0:LSMean1=
                                  logAUC        Standard    H0:LSMEAN=0      LSMean2
             formulation          LSMEAN           Error       Pr > |t|       Pr > |t|
             1                235.152143        7.344914         <.0001         0.7564
             2                231.866667        7.344914         <.0001


                                           logAUC
                      formulation          LSMEAN      90% Confidence Limits
                      1                235.152143      222.215471   248.088815
                      2                231.866667      218.929995   244.803339


For "Ln(x)" transformed data, I get:
                                        Least Squares Means

                                                                           H0:LSMean1=
                                  logAUC        Standard    H0:LSMEAN=0      LSMean2
             formulation          LSMEAN           Error       Pr > |t|       Pr > |t|
             1                5.43564054      0.03630235         <.0001         0.8623
             2                5.42656860      0.03630235         <.0001


                                           logAUC
                      formulation          LSMEAN      90% Confidence Limits
                      1                  5.435641        5.371701     5.499580
                      2                  5.426569        5.362629     5.490508


It's really puzzled me, I am eagerly need help from d_labes, HS, yjlee168, ElMaestro or others who are expertised at this problem.

Give my greatest thanks to you.
