 MEANING: Those data records containing observation information
 CONTEXT: NONMEM input/output

 DISCUSSION:
 A data record may contain an observation, in which  case  the  missing
 dependent  variable  (MDV)  data  item  (which may be specified by the
 user, or created for him by NM-TRAN when PREDPP  is  used)  should  be
 zero,  and  the  dependent variable (DV) data item should the observa-
 tion.  If a data record does not contain an observation, the MDV  data
 item  should  be  1,  and  the  DV data item may be any value.  NONMEM
 counts observation records.   It  also  must  know  in  what  position
 (column)  of  a  data  record the DV data item appears. It reports its
 information about these things as a check to  the  user,  as  in  this
 example:

  DEP VARIABLE IS DATA ITEM NO.:   4
         .
         .
  TOT. NO. OF OBS RECS:     394

 (See dv, mdv).
