RE: IGNORE under $DATA ignored

From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Xinting Wang Sent: Sunday, March 8, 2015 11:26 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [NMusers] IGNORE under $DATA ignored Dear all, I have a technical question to ask regarding the IGNORE=@ option under $DATA. I have a data set created by R and submitted to run under NONMEM, but somehow the IGNORE option is not read by the program and give me a list of error messages saying: (DATA ERROR) RECORD 1, DATA ITEM 14, CONTENTS: "DOSE" ITEM IS NOT A NUMBER. (DATA ERROR) RECORD 1, DATA ITEM 15, CONTENTS: "SEX" ITEM IS NOT A NUMBER. ​I tried to move the IGNORE to a different line without any effect. Additionally, I tried to use different output functions (write.table and write.csv) under R, tried different coding (using fileEncoding= option) but this problem still occurs. I am wondering if anyone else has come across this problem and if so, could you please share your resolving experience? All of the R and NONMEM program were run under Red Hat Linux. Thanks​ in advance for your kind help. Best -- Xinting
