Hello Cris:
If you add the option
-maxlim=3
to your nmfe74 script command line, this will correct the issue. This has been corrected in NONMEM 7.4.4

Subject: [EXTERNAL] [NMusers] A weird problem in $TABLE output when using nonmem 7.4.3 with MPI
Hi all,
Glad to join the community recently. I ran into a weird problem in $TABLE output when I was running a PopPK model using nonmem 7.4.3 with MPI: a few values of the first record (such as ID, EVID, CMT, TIME) erroneously come from the last individual in the output table (see Table 1 and Table 2 below).

Interestingly, there is no such problem when I run the model without MPI (see Table 3 below).

Have anyone ever encountered the same problem? What could possibly the reason for the problem before? And how can I avoid such a problem?
Thanks in advance!
