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).

with mpi

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!
