Dear R-Help

I 'm using GLM function to Modelling. But when I used Gamma Family in GLM, then 
I can't run.
It was error

glm(DamageRatio~MinTEMP+MaxTEMP+DayRain+Group1+Group2+Group3+Year,family=Gamma())
Error in eval(expr, envir, enclos) : Non-positive values not allowed for the 
gamma family

Can Gamma Distribution use data begin 0 ?

No, That is an impossible value from a gamma distribution: see ?dgamma and note what it says about x.


and then when I used GLM in S-Plus Program then it done, but it didn't have AIC 
value.

Last Question why are not the AIC in R and S-plus equal.

You have just said S-Plus does not have an AIC value.! However, since a gamma GLM is not fitted by ML, you cannot get AIC from a glm fit unless you specify the dispersion (unlikely). Did you notice what ?glm says about the aic component? See also ?logLik.
