In FMethod 4, end the list of fleets with -9998, rather than -9999. Then after reading the N tuning loops, proceed to read the F details just as in F method 2.
*(ad_comm::global_datafile) >> F_Tune;
echoinput << "hybrid tuning loops as read: " << F_Tune << endl;
if (ender == -9998) // flag to trigger reading F_detail for f x t specific F values
{
echoinput << "# now read List of fleet-time specific F related values to read; enter -Yr to fill remaining years&seasons; -999 for phase or catch_se keeps base value for the run" << endl;
echoinput << "#Fleet Yr Seas F_value catch_se phase" << endl;
You also need to add -9999 1 1 1 1 1 to the end of the detailed setup and you don't need to specify how many rows of detailed inputs to read before (different from F method 2).
