Table Output Under VAX VMS

From: Alison Boeckmann Date: November 21, 1993 technical Source: phor.com
This is a question for people who have installed NONMEM under theVAX VMS operating system.Jim Johnson of Glaxo has a problem with output to Table files whenthe number of characters exceeds 132. NONMEM crashes with a stackdump. Here is an example of what is being tried:$TABLE list ... NOPRINT FILE=filenameWhen the list exceeds a certain number of variables, the crash occurs.He can probably make things work by modifiying the following code, which occurs in two places in NONMEM subroutine OFILES: OPEN (UN(9),FILE=PATH(1:I-1))He thinks he will have to change these two lines as follows: OPEN (UN(9),FILE=PATH(1:I-1),RECL=32767,RECORDTYPE='VARIABLE', ORGANIZATION='SEQUENTIAL')Has anyone else encountered this problem? If so, have you tried this orsimilar changes to NONMEM source code? Is there any way to avoid thecrash without modifying the source code, for example by specifyingthese paramenters on VMS control statements or FORTRANinstallation-time defaults? (He would prefer to avoid modifying thesource code.)Please respond to me, and I'll forward your comments to Jim.
