Problems with IGNORE

Dear NMUSERS, I want to ignore several lines in my dataset. I've tried to do this in this way: IGNORE=(ID.EQ.108.AND.CMT.EQ.3) In this case I'll receive an error message like: An ERROR was found in the control statements. An ERROR was fond on line 16 ot the approxiamte position noted: IGNORE=(ID.EQ.108.AND.CMT.EQ.3) X The characters in ERROR are: IGNORE 52 Can someone tell me how to ignore more than one? Thanks in advance. -- GRATIS für alle GMX-Mitglieder: Die maxdome Movie-FLAT! Jetzt freischalten unter http://portal.gmx.net/de/go/maxdome01

You need to use IGNORE with the $DATA statement. Then there is no "AND" conjunction as far as I know, but all you have is an "OR" if you concatenate the filters by inserting commas between them like this: $DATA datafile IGNORE=(ID.EQ.108,CMT.EQ.3) See the documentation for $DATA. Having AND and OR combinations in ACCEPT/IGNORE statements including setting of parentheses is certainly on my wish list for a future nonmem release.

German, Change this: IGNORE=(ID.EQ.108.AND.CMT.EQ.3) to: IGNORE=(ID.EQ.108, CMT.EQ.3) The IGNORE record is not a FORTRAN logical statement. It is an NM-TRAN convention that a "," is equivalent to ".AND.".

A simple way to have NONMEM ignore records is to comment them out of your dataset as follows: Include a column, typically at the start of the dataset, called C. Then, for those records you wish to exclude, place 'C' in this column. In the control stream, you then specify this column in your $INPUT statement and instruct NONMEM to ignore those records where you have place a 'C' in the column C - you do this using the IGNORE= option within the $DATA statement. See example: $INPUT C ID SUBJ TRT DAT1=DROP TIME AMT EVID MDV SS II DV $DATA dataset.csv IGNORE=C Regards, Colm
