| DATE DATA ITEM |
|_________________________________________________________________|
MEANING: Date (DATE) data item for NM-TRAN
CONTEXT: $INPUT record and NONMEM data set
USAGE:
$INPUT ... DATE[=DROP] ...
DISCUSSION:
DATE, DAT1, DAT2, and DAT3 are labels for the date data item. The
date data item is optional. When it is present, NM-TRAN performs time
translation for the time data item (to relative times starting at 0),
whether or not any time values contain the character ":".
The label given to the date data item describes its format:
DATE month day year
DAT1 day month year
DAT2 year month day
DAT3 year day month
When the date represents a calendar date, components are separated by
any nonnumeric character, such as - or / (e.g., 12-3-90 or 12/3/90).
DATE=DROP should be specified in this case because the NONMEM data set
must not contain non-numeric characters.
If only one component is present, it is assumed to be the day (and it
may be 0 or negative). If two components are present, they are
assumed to be the day and month, and they must not exceed 31 and 12,
respectively.
EXAMPLE:
NM-TRAN data set NONMEM data set
ID DATE TIME ID TIME
---- ---- ---- ---- ----
1 10-1-86 9:15 1 0.00
1 10-1-86 14:40 1 5.42
1 10-2-86 8:30 1 23.25
2 10-12 8 2 0.00
2 10-14 10 2 50.00
If present, the year component may consist of one to four digits. The
value of NM-TRAN's LAST20 constant determines the assumed century of
one and two digit years: 1900's or 2000's (See last20).
