Hi. We are running NONMEM on HP-UX 9.03 for a long period. Using a nonlinear model (ADVAN8 including linear and nonlinear elimination processes and different terms for inter occasional variabilities), I had the wish to make predictions on all non measured time points. Sometimes it is working using these additional records: EVID=0, PCMT=CMT=2, CONC=DV=0, and MDV=1 or EVID=2, PCMT=CMT=2, CONC=DV=0, and MDV=1 and a MSFI-file which is the result of a prior succesfully finished run without these add. records and a MSFO-file. But in most cases NONMEM crashes with the following *** FORTRAN I/O ERROR 933: END (OR BEGIN) OF FILE WITH NO "END=" SPECIFIER FILE: FILE19, UNIT: 19 LAST FORMAT: (34(1X,1P,E11.4)) ( 0) 0x80fbb06c io_ded + 0x31c [/usr/lib/pa1.1/libcl.sl] ( 1) 0x80fbea9c read_seq_unform + 0x1c8 [/usr/lib/pa1.1/libcl.sl] ( 2) 0x80fbec68 new_rc + 0x90 [/usr/lib/pa1.1/libcl.sl] ( 3) 0x80fcf9cc FTN_S_RSUE + 0x158 [/usr/lib/pa1.1/libcl.sl] ( 4) 0x0001f984 dat6 + 0x5d4 [./nmd.27205] ( 5) 0x00039bd8 outpt + 0x25e8 [./nmd.27205] ( 6) 0x00013fc4 final + 0x494 [./nmd.27205] ( 7) 0x000102b4 nonmem + 0x22c [./nmd.27205] and in the output 0PRED EXIT CODE = 1 0INDIVIDUAL NO. 1 ID= .11200000E+03 (WITHIN-INDIVIDUAL) DATA REC NO. 91 THETA= 2.83E+00 5.17E+00 8.87E+00 2.54E+01 9.48E-01 3.39E+00 5.70E-01 5.80E-03 1.01E+01 NUMERICAL DIFFICULTIES WITH INTEGRATION ROUTINE. MAXIMUM NO.

In both cases NONMEM terminates with 0MINIMIZATION TERMINATED DUE TO INABILITY TO PROCEED BEYOND TERMINATION POINT OF PREVIOUS SEARCH NO. OF FUNCTION EVALUATIONS USED: 0 NO. OF SIG. DIGITS IN FINAL EST.: .0 but this is due to the nonchanging SIGDIGITS from the first to the second run, and changing this number is only increasing the CPU-time, which is for the first run about 4 hours (only FO and POSTHOC) !! Did I make some mistakes in including the additionals ?
