Dear All,
I have exact same NONMEM code run in two command windows, NM7 and
wings for NM7. The NONMEM run is successful in the NM7 but cannot
start in wings for NM7. Below is the error message.
AN ERROR WAS FOUND IN THE CONTROL STATEMENTS.
AN ERROR WAS FOUND ON LINE 25 AT THE APPROXIMATE POSITION NOTED:
MU_1 =THETA(12) LOG(THETA(1))
X
THE CHARACTERS IN ERROR ARE: LOG
202 FORTRAN SYNTAX IS INCORRECT OR INAPPROPRIATE IN THIS CONTEXT.
Error in NM-TRAN_Execution with ......
After several tests, I realized that it may be due to the setting of
wings for NM7, such as parameter size.
In my model, I have 12 THETAS, 10 ETAS and 3 SIGMA. If I delete
THETA(12) , everything is working.
We have NONMEM 7.1.0 and Wings for Nonmem version 703 installed
with their default setting.
Can anyone help me to handle this problem? Is this due to the size of
parameter? How to increase the parameter size of wings for NM7.
Here is my NONMEM code:

202 Fortran Syntax of wings for NM7

Dear Nick,
Thanks so much for directing me to pay attention to the comments of
$THETA block.
The FORTRAN SYNTAX is caused by the way I apply comments to $THETA
but I get the problem solved using the other way.
The original $THETA as below:
$THETA
(0.228 FIXED) ;POP_TLAG
(0.01,0.927,10) ;POP_K12
(5,14,100) ;POP_Q
(0,0.972,50) ;POP_K24
(0,0.14,50) ;POP_K40
(0,0.01,1) ;POP_K41
(3,30.3,200) ;POP_V2
(243 FIXED) ;POP_V3
(3,9.82,200) ;POP_V4
(0,0.0167,0.1) ;POP_FR
(0,0.3) ;CNI
(-0.6) ; ALB
The new $THETA block is:
$THETA
(0.228 FIXED) ;POP_TLAG
(0.01,0.927,10) ;POP_K12
(5,14,100) ;POP_Q
(0,0.972,50) ;POP_K24
(0,0.14,50) ;POP_K40
(0,0.01,1) ;POP_K41
(3,30.3,200) ;POP_V2
(243 FIXED) ;POP_V3
(3,9.82,200) ;POP_V4
(0,0.0167,0.1) ;POP_FR
(0,0.3) ;CNI
(-0.6) ;POP_ALB
The only thing I did is to change comment of THETA12 from ALB to POP_ALB.
My understanding now is that WFN get confused the comment of
THETA12 (ALB) with MU_1 (which is assigned to ALAG1) because both
of them start with "A".
Thanks again,

Hong,
Your explanation does not make sense to me. WFN should not confuse ALB with ALAG1. Please send me the full control stream that causes the problem so I can find out what is happening. If there is a bug in WFN I'd like to be able to find it and fix it.
Thanks,
Nick
