Fixed bug of not reinitializing Qualifiers when cycling through models using !RE(NAME/RUN) Default equation ordering improved

Add !SPLIT qualifier to PREDICT statementThis splits the .epv file into multiple files indexed by thePREDICT statement number (xx), writing the primary predict tableto a file …_PCT_ii.epv and all other associated output to a file…_PCH_ii.epv. The PVT file can be easily loaded into R or […]

The equation ordering algorithm has been updated which should allow larger jobs to run faster.

Improved equation ordering for GRM models Miscellaneous bug fixes and improved coding checks.
