Hi, I would like to seek for help from any of nmusers. My question is as 
follows: How can I run a nonmem job with ONE control file and MUlTIPLE data 
sets. 

Response from: ABoeckmann (alison@c255.ucsf.EDU) - 6 Dec 94

One can set up a multi-problem run in NONMEM, with multiple data sets.
The control file looks something like the following:

  $PROBLEM title for first problem
  $DATA name of first data set
 
  $SUBROUTINES ...  (or $PRED)
  $PK
  $ERROR 
 
  $THETA, $OMEGA $SIGMA
  task specification records, eg., $ESTIM, $COV, $TABLE, $SCAT
 
 
  $PROBLEM title for second problem   
  $DATA  name of second data set
 
  $THETA, $OMEGA $SIGMA
  task specification records, eg., $ESTIM, $COV, $TABLE, $SCAT
  
  
  $PROBLEM title for third problem
  $DATA  name of third data set

  $THETA, $OMEGA $SIGMA
  task specification records, eg., $ESTIM, $COV, $TABLE, $SCAT

  ... etc ...

Note that $SUBROUTINES/$PK/$ERROR (or $PRED) cannot appear
in subsequent problems.
