Thanks Vladimir. I didn't know about the "system" command. I'll try it for my future runs
I used loops in SPLUS with the dos command to run several NM runs:
e.g., for running several control streams named 100 to 110, I use
i<- 100
while (i <= 110) {
dos("...............", multi = F)
i<- i+1
}
If I use multi=T, as you mentioned, the dos command is executed and then returns to SPLUS
which attempts running a second NM run before the first one ends. I get an error message
when that happens. When I use multi=F, SPLUS waits for the first run to end and then starts
the second one and I don't get any error messages. I only use this for Covariate testing
(several runs with one covariate added at a time, i.e., stepwise forward addition or
stepwise backward elimination).
I'll be curious to see what happens with the "system" command. I'll try it out.
