MAXITER Subcommand (CATREG command)

MAXITER specifies the maximum number of iterations CATREG can go through in its computations. Note that the output starts from the iteration number 0, which is the initial value before any iteration, when INITIAL = NUMERICAL is in effect.

• If MAXITER is not specified, CATREG will iterate up to 100 times.
• The specification on MAXITER is a positive integer indicating the maximum number of iterations. There is no uniquely predetermined (hard coded) maximum for the value that can be used.
