 MEANING: NONMEM-PRED common
 CONTEXT: PRED routine

 USAGE:
 COMMON /NMPRD3/ COMACT,COMSAV
 INTEGER COMACT,COMSAV

 DISCUSSION:
 COMACT is set by NONMEM; COMSAV is set by PRED.

 COMACT
      COMACT=0: NONMEM is not making a copying pass, i.e., values  from
      NMPRD4  will  not be copied for tables and scatterplots.  (NONMEM
      only makes a copying pass when PRED-defined items are  listed  in
      $TABLE or $SCATTER records.)
      COMACT=1: This is a copying pass  with  final  thetas;  etas  are
      zero.
      COMACT=2: This is a copying pass with  final  thetas  and  condi-
      tional eta estimates.
      COMACT=3: This is a copying pass with conditional (nonparametric)
      estimates  of  etas.   Such  a  pass takes place when the control
      stream includes this record:
       $NONPARAMETRIC ETAS

 COMSAV
      Set by PRED at ICALL<=1 or at COMACT=1 with the very  first  data
      record.   The Save Region is an initial part of NMPRD4. If with a
      given data record, the value of a PRED-defined variable is stored
      in  this  region,  then  during  a copy pass with COMACT = 2, the
      value of the variable is initialized to the value obtained during
      the  copy  pass with the same data record and COMACT=1. COMSAV is
      the size of this region, i.e.,  the  number  of  variables  whose
      values are stored in this region.

 When NM-TRAN is used, COMACT may be tested in abbreviated code. COMSAV
 may not be referenced in abbreviated code.  Instead, the COMSAV option
 of the $ABBREVIATED record is coded, and NM-TRAN causes the  specified
 value to be stored in NMPRD3.
