Re: Running NMV with Intel 9 from S+

Hui, You dont give any important details like what goes wrong or what error message you get. But I will try to use the female side of my brain and make an inspired telepathic guess as to what the problem might be <grin> Each time you use a command such as system() or dos() you are running independent instances of the CMD processor. You have to give the commands in the same instance to get them to work together. The reason why it seems to work with the Digital compiler is because during installation of the compiler you asked for the compiler environment variables to be added to the system environment. Calling dfvars.bat doesnt actually do anything useful when you call nmfe5 with a separate dos() command. The nmfe5 command works for df because the environment is already set by the system. The Intel 9 installation does not reliably update the system environment so you have to call Ifortvars.bat (or set the variables some other way) to make nmfe5.bat work. In order to get your system to work I suggest you try create a batch file somewhere called dosnmfe5.bat containing these lines: rem initialize environment for Intel 9 call C:/Progra~1/Intel/Compiler/Fortran/9.0/IA32/Bin/IFortVars.bat" rem change to the run directory cd %1 rem start a low priory instance of the CMD processor to rem call nmfe5 with control and output file name arguments C:/WINNT/system32/cmd.EXE /K start /LOW/i C:/nmv9/run/nmfe5.bat %2 %3 then do this in your Splus script: rundir<-"c:/nmv9/run" # location of control stream file (can be anywhere) control<-"control" # name of control stream file that nmfe5 is expecting output<-"delete" # name of NONMEM output file that nmfe5 will create dos (paste("C:\\somewhere\\dosnmfe5.bat",rundir,control,output,sep=" ")) You could do something similar with WFN (after installing WFN and using NMQUAL to install NONMEM properly (see http://wfn.sourceforge.net): Create a batch file somewhere called doswfn.bat containing these lines rem initialize environment for WFN and Intel rem use standard size NONMEM installation call C:/nmv9/wfn/bin/wfn.bat ivf std cd %1 rem a low priority instance of the CMD processor is obtained rem by setting nmnice=y in wfn.bat rem call nmgo with runname argument call nmgo %2 then do this in your Splus script rundir<-"c:/nmv9/run" # location of control stream file (can be anywhere) control<-"control.ctl" # name of control stream file that nmgo is expecting dos (paste("C:/somewhere/doswfn.bat",rundir,control,sep=" ")) Nick > "Kimko, Hui [PRDUS]" wrote: > > Hello: > > Would you kindly let me know the command line to run NONMEM using INTEL 9 > from S+? > An example that does not work is : ============ > system("C:\\WINNT\\system32\\cmd.EXE /K start /LOW/i > C:\\Progra~1\\Intel\\Compiler\\Fortran\\9.0\\IA32\\Bin\\IFortVars.bat") > > loc="C:\\nmv9\\run\\" > action=paste(loc,"nmfe5.bat ",loc,"CONTROL3 ",loc,"delete",sep="") > dos(action) > ======================================= > > A modification of the command works in Digital Fortran... > > Thanks in advance, > Huicy -- Nick Holford, Dept Pharmacology & Clinical Pharmacology University of Auckland, 85 Park Rd, Private Bag 92019, Auckland, New Zealand [EMAIL PROTECTED] tel:+64(9)373-7599x86730 fax:+64(9)373-7090 www.health.auckland.ac.nz/pharmacology/staff/nholford
