MEANING: FINISH record
CONTEXT: NM-TRAN and NONMEM data sets
USAGE:
FIN
DISCUSSION:
A FINISH record signals the end of the data for a given NONMEM prob-
lem. It is always optional.
FINISH record in NM-TRAN data sets:
When the RECORDS option of the $DATA record is omitted, NM-TRAN
reads the data set to a FINISH record or to end-of-file, whichever
comes first.
When a format is omitted on the $DATA record, a FINISH record con-
sists of the characters FIN appearing anywhere in the record (the
other characters are all blank).
When a format is provided on the $DATA record, a FINISH record must
have the same form as in NONMEM data sets.
FINISH record in NONMEM data sets:
When Field 3 of the NONMEM DATA Control Record is blank or zero,
NONMEM reads the data set to a FINISH record or to end-of-file,
whichever comes first. (Field 3 either contains the number of data
records or is blank or zero. It must be blank or zero when the
number of records is greater than 9999.)
The format of the FINISH record is:
Blank characters in positions 1-76 and 80 and the characters F, I,
and N in positions 77, 78, and 79, respectively.
If m is the number of FORTRAN records spanned per data record,
there must be m-1 blank FORTRAN records inserted before the FINISH
record.
In addition, the following three rules must be followed:
All FORTRAN records of the input data file must be 80 characters
long.
All FORTRAN records of the input data file except the FINISH
record must have blank characters in positions 77-80.
The total number of A, E, and F codes on the FORMAT record,
including their multiplicities, must equal, not exceed, the number
of data items specified on the DATA record.
