Resuming from previous run

!CONTINUE and !FINAL

C ( !CONTINUE [f]) indicates that the job is to continue iterating from the values in the .rsv file. This is equivalent to setting !CONTINUE on the datafile line.

At the completion of each iteration, ASReml writes the updated parameter values to a .rsv file and a .msv file. Both contain essentially the same information but the .msv file is in a format that is easier to edit if needed.

With !CONTINUE, ASReml will look for an .rsv file with the name it will use to write to. If not available, it will look for an .rsv file from the most recent run of the job.

If a particular rsv/msv/tsv file is specified after !CONTINUE, ASReml will read parameter values back from that file. See more about msv/rsv/tsv.

F ( !FINAL) indicates that the job is to continue for one more iteration from the values in the .rsv file. This is useful when using predict.
