Hello Mark, in addition to Sarah's suggestions, you could run NONMEM via psn using option clean=0 which will stop psn from cleaning the temp files generated by NONMEM.
for the data issues, it refers to the actual data that's read into NONMEM i.e after excluding all ignore statements and dropped columns, a workaround is to filter out the dataset in the same way it's being filtered in the NMtran control stream or kill the run before it crashes and you should have the FDATA file in the NM folder.
