Andreas,

Thanks for pointing out my error with the IGNORE logic. The comma is indeed a logical OR not a logical AND!

Here is the description from NONMEM html help (it hasn't changed in NONMEM 7 beta).

"If there is more than one condition, then records satisfying at least one of these conditions will be dropped. In effect, the conditions for dropping a record are connected by the implied conjunction ".OR.". E.g. IGNORE=(GEN.EQ.1,AGE.GT.60). Records having GEN equal to 1 or AGE greater than 60 are dropped. "

Nick,

should your ".AND." in the email not be a ".OR." because the record is ignored if A or B is true?

One might as well read this as "ignore records with A AND ignore records with B", but that seems more confusing to me.

Best regards,

        Andreas

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.".
