MEANING: NONMEM control records
CONTEXT: NONMEM input file
DISCUSSION:
NONMEM control records contain the instructions to NONMEM. The set of
control records is called the NONMEM control stream. These are dif-
ferent from NM-TRAN control records.
When NM-TRAN is used, NM-TRAN creates the NONMEM control stream in a
file named FCON. When NM-TRAN is not used, the user must create it
himself.
Each NONMEM control record begins with a 3 or 4-character preface
(record label) which identifies the record. They are listed here in
the same order in which they must appear in the NONMEM control stream.
For details of the contents of the records, see NONMEM Users Guide V
"Introductory Guide", Appendix 4 - NONMEM Control Records (FCON).
