RE: Use AND to ignore rows for input dataset
Guide VIII suggests the following:
Suppose it is desired that records be dropped that satisfy the logical ".AND."
of several conditions. This can be implemented by using an ACCEPT list with the
negations of the conditions. For example, suppose that records to be ignored
are those having GEN=1 .AND. AGE > 60. This may be done as follows:
ACCEPT=(GEN.NE.1,AGE.LE.60)

Subject: [NMusers] Use AND to ignore rows for input dataset
Hi Colleagues,
Although there are many workarounds to manage the input datasets for NONMEM,
use of IGNORE would be a very handy solution. However, I am surprised to see
that AND is not supported by NONMEM. e.g. IGNORE=(CMT.EQ.1, AND CMT.EQ.2 )
would throw an error. In contrast, NONMEM use OR for IGNORE=(CMT.EQ.1,
CMT.EQ.2 ) by default, which is quite different for the common practice of
software.
I am wondering if the AND feature has been or will be implemented in the
last/future NONMEM version.
Thank you,
Mark
