Valérie,

maybe you could subdivide the calculation of coefficients with very
long expressions by calling -nlcom, post- multiple times, carrying
through the subcalculations. The second -nlcom- will calculate on the
basis of the estimation results from the first call to -nlcom-...
Something like this (although you have to be careful how you subdivide
or the variance estimates will not be valid):

*----------------------------------------------------------*
// exp(V_i) and CV estimates
*----------------------------------------------------------*
#delim ;
nlcom
  (price: _b[egenbet])
  (epen0: exp((_b[pen50] + _b[egenbet]*125 + _b[pen])))
  (epen1: exp((_b[pen50] + _b[egenbet]*125 +
              _b[intmaal] + _b[pen])))
  (einh0: exp(((_b[inh600]/5) + _b[egenbet]*800 +
              _b[dagXinh] + _b[hoste] + _b[inh])))
  (einh1: exp((_b[dagXinh] + _b[egenbet]*800 +
              _b[hoste] + _b[inh])))

  (epen0a: exp((_b[pen50] + _b[egenbet]*125 + _b[pen])))
  (epen1a: exp((_b[pen50] + _b[egenbet]*125 +
               _b[intmaal] + _b[pen])))
  (einh0a: exp(((_b[inh600]/5) + _b[egenbet]*125 +
               _b[dagXinh] + _b[hoste] + _b[inh])))
  (einh1a: exp((_b[dagXinh] + _b[egenbet]*125 +
               _b[hoste] + _b[inh])))
, post;

// CV estimates for section 5.8;
nlcom
  (epen0:  _b[epen0])
  (epen1:  _b[epen1])
  (einh0:  _b[einh0])
  (einh1:  _b[einh1])
  (CV_pen: (-1/_b[price]) *
           (ln(_b[epen0] + _b[einh0]) -
            ln(_b[epen1] + _b[einh0]))
  )
  (CV_inh: (-1/_b[price]) *
           (ln(_b[epen0] + _b[einh0]) -
            ln(_b[epen0] + _b[einh1]))
