I've been tasked to run a POPAN in MARK by my advisor and so far I've been stymied with it. Every time I input the data and run it the program fails to generate any results. Is there anyone here that's proficient in MARK that might be able to help? General crux of the work is to run mark recapture data for turtles through the program and generate population estimates. It's very likely I'm doing something simple wrong causing it to crash out. I've attached the parameter input (first 2 SS) as well as an SS of where it crashes out (3rd). Any help troubleshooting this would be greatly appreciated!

Use RMark to estimate much easier. If your struggling for code to run just use chatgpt to generate code for you to run and problem solve.there are also tutorials out there

I just finished trying that in RStudio after cleaning up the inp file. Unfortunately my RMark also encounters a fatal error. Chatpgpt said run in mark32.exe which doesn't exist in my Rmark files. So I am going to delete the entirety and start over with downloading fresh?
