 MEANING: Event Identification (EVID) data item for PREDPP
 CONTEXT: $INPUT record and NONMEM data set

 USAGE:
 $INPUT ... EVID ...

 DISCUSSION:
 EVID labels PREDPP's event identification (EVID) data item.  The event
 identification  data  item  is required.  NM-TRAN can supply this data
 item if dose and observation events  are  the  only  types  of  events
 present  in  the  data.  EVID can have one of four values in any event
 record.

 0    Observation event.  The DV data item is an observation.  The  CMT
      data  item  specifies which compartment is being observed.  Dose-
      related data items (AMT, RATE, II, ADDL, SS) must be zero.

 1    Dose event.  The CMT data item  specifies  which  compartment  is
      being  dosed.   The DV data item is ignored.  One or more of AMT,
      RATE, II, ADDL, SS data items must  be  non-zero  to  define  the
      dose.

 2    Other-type event.  The DV data  item  is  ignored.   Dose-related
      data  items  must  be zero.  Examples of other-type events are: A
      compartment is turned on or off (CMT specifies which  compartment
      is  to be turned on or off); a prediction is obtained at a speci-
      fied time so that it may be displayed in a table  or  scatterplot
      (PCMT  specifies  the  compartment  from  which the prediction is
      obtained); a physiological variable changes.

 3    Reset event.  The kinetic  system  is  re-initialized.   Time  is
      reset  to  the time of the event record, the amounts in each com-
      partment are reset to zero, the on/off status of each compartment
      is  reset  to  its  initial status.  The DV data item is ignored.
      Dose-related data items must be zero.

 4    Reset-and-dose event.  The system is first reset, and then a dose
      is given.  The DV data item is ignored.
