7 Command file: Specifying variance structures 140The !CONTINUE qualifier instructs ASReml to retrieve variance parameters fromthe .rsv file if it exists rather than using the values in the .asr file. When readingthe .rsv file, it will take results from some matrices as supplying starting valuesfor other matrices. The transitions recognised areDIAG to CORUHDIAG to FA1CORUH to FA1FAi to FAi+1FAi to CORGHFAi to USCORGH to USThe use of the .rsv file with !CONTINUE in this way reduces the need for the userto type in the updated starting values.The various models may be written in various !PART s of the job and controlledby the !DOPART qualifier. When used with the -r qualifier on the command line(see Chapter 12), the output from the various parts has the partnumber appendedto the filename. In this case it would be necessary to copy the .rsv files with thenew part number before running the next part to take advantage of this facility.
