Hi, I hit another issue that I think may be related to the issue below. I’m still in NONMEM 7.4.1, so if it’s fixed in 7.4.2, please let me know. I don’t have any spaces , so I think that it’s at least subtly different than the related issue discovered previously with spacing before and/or after substituted parameters. Is it possible to use replaced parameter in the beginning of a compound Boolean statement in the $PK? $ABBR REPLACE CMTUPGUT=1 $ABBR REPLACE CMTUPGUT2=15 … $PK … IF (CMT.EQ.CMTUPGUT.OR.CMT.EQ.CMTUPGUT2.AND.AMTEFFSOLID.GT.0) THEN … ENDIF … Gives the error below: AN ERROR WAS FOUND ON LINE 245 AT THE APPROXIMATE POSITION NOTED: IF (CMT.EQ.CMTUPGUT.OR.CMT.EQ.CMTUPGUT2.AND.AMTEFFSOLID.GT.0) THEN X THE CHARACTERS IN ERROR ARE: CMTUPGUT 208 UNDEFINED VARIABLE. Switching the order in the IF statement $ABBR REPLACE CMTUPGUT=1 $ABBR REPLACE CMTUPGUT2=15 … $PK … IF (CMT.EQ.CMTUPGUT2.OR.CMT.EQ.CMTUPGUT.AND.AMTEFFSOLID.GT.0) THEN … ENDIF … Gives the equivalent error for CMTUPGUT2. Doing manual substitution of the first value in the IF statement makes the code apparently work: $ABBR REPLACE CMTUPGUT=1 $ABBR REPLACE CMTUPGUT2=15 … $PK … IF (CMT.EQ.1.OR.CMT.EQ.CMTUPGUT2.AND.AMTEFFSOLID.GT.0) THEN … ENDIF … Thanks, Bill
