Warning: NMTRAN does not interpret conditional abbreviated code properly

From: Nick Holford <n.holford@auckland.ac.nz> Subject: Warning: NMTRAN does not interpret conditional abbreviated code properly Date: Sun, 27 Aug 2000 10:10:15 +1200 Hi, The following fragment from an NMTRAN control stream has "DOSCAS=0.0 ;set doscas=0 for all RX.NE.1" as the first statement in the first IF_THEN_ELSE block. This statement is not copied to the FSUBS Fortran source created by NMTRAN which means that DOSCAS is not initialized properly when RX.NE.1. This failure to copy parts of nested conditional statements suggests care is needed when using conditional statements, particularly nested ones with NMTRAN abbreviated code. Do not assume that statements that are not within the innermost IF THEN ELSE blocks are properly or entirely copied by NMTRAN. NMTRAN Control Stream IF (RX.EQ.1) THEN TVBA=THETA(3) F0ST=THETA(14) DOSCAS=1.0 ELSE DOSCAS=0.0 ;set doscas=0 for all RX.NE.1 IF (RX.EQ.2) THEN TVBA=THETA(4) F0ST=THETA(15) ELSE IF (RX.EQ.3) THEN TVBA=THETA(5) F0ST=THETA(16) ELSE TVBA=THETA(6) F0ST=THETA(17) ENDIF ENDIF ENDIF FSUBS Generated by NMTRAN. No value assigned to DOSCAS if RX.NE.1 IF(RX.EQ.1.D0)THEN TVBA=THETA(03) F0ST=THETA(14) DOSCAS=1.D0 ELSE IF(RX.EQ.2.D0)THEN TVBA=THETA(04) F0ST=THETA(15) ELSE IF(RX.EQ.3.D0)THEN TVBA=THETA(05) F0ST=THETA(16) ELSE TVBA=THETA(06) F0ST=THETA(17) ENDIF ENDIF ENDIF -- Nick Holford, Dept Pharmacology & Clinical Pharmacology University of Auckland, Private Bag 92019, Auckland, New Zealand email:n.holford@auckland.ac.nz tel:+64(9)373-7599x6730 fax:373-7556 http://www.phm.auckland.ac.nz/Staff/NHolford/nholford.htm
