Non-zero rim weights and zero cases
It is incorrect to specify a non-zero target weight for an element in a rim weighting dimension when there are no cases in that element. When Quantum encounters this error, it stops the run with a message of the form:
Error: Weight matrix 3, dimension 2, elem 3: target 4.800 given, no cases found
For details, see the Quantum weighting report file (weightrp)
If the nowmerrors keyword is in force, the same message is issued except that the word ‘Error’ is replaced by the word ‘Warning’ and the run continues.
The message is repeated in the weighting report file immediately after the line reporting the element in error, for example:
INPUT INPUT PROJECTED PROJECTED
FREQUENCY PERCENT FREQUENCY PERCENT
----------- ----------- ----------- -----------
24.000 50.00 28.800 60.00
24.000 50.00 19.200 40.00
----------- ----------- ----------- -----------
48.000 100.00 48.000 100.00

16.000 33.33 14.400 30.00
16.000 33.33 19.200 40.00
0.000 0.00 4.800 10.00
Error: Weight matrix 3, dimen 2, elem 3: target 4.800 given, no cases found.
