1  Purpose

E05ZKF either initializes or resets the optional parameter arrays or sets a single optional parameter for supported problem solving routines in Chapter E05. The following routines are supported:

2  Specification

SUBROUTINE E05ZKF ( OPTSTR, IOPTS, LIOPTS, OPTS, LOPTS, IFAIL)
INTEGER  IOPTS(LIOPTS), LIOPTS, LOPTS, IFAIL
REAL (KIND=nag_wp)  OPTS(LOPTS)
CHARACTER(*)  OPTSTR

3  Description

E05ZKF has three purposes: to initialize optional parameter arrays; to reset all optional parameters to their default values; or to set a single optional parameter to a user-supplied value.
Optional parameters and their values are, in general, presented as a character string, OPTSTR, of the form ‘option =optval’; alphabetic characters can be supplied in either upper or lower case. Both option and optval may consist of one or more tokens separated by white space. The tokens that comprise optval will normally be either an integer, real or character value as defined in the description of the specific optional argument. In addition all optional parameters can take an optval DEFAULT which resets the optional parameter to its default value.
It is imperative that optional parameter arrays are initialized before any options are set, before the relevant problem solving routine is called and before any options are queried using E05ZLF. To initialize the optional parameter arrays IOPTS and OPTS for a specific problem solving routine, the option Initialize is used with optval identifying the problem solving routine to be called, via its short name. For example, to initialize optional parameter arrays to be passed to E05SAF, E05ZKF is called as follows:
call E05ZKF('Initialize = e05saf', IOPTS, LIOPTS, OPTS, LOPTS, IFAIL)
Information relating to available option names and their corresponding valid values is given in Section 11 in E05SAF, E05SBF, E05UCF and E05USF.

5  Parameters

1:     OPTSTR – CHARACTER(*)Input
On entry: a string identifying the option to be set.
Initialize=routine name
Initialize the optional parameter arrays IOPTS and OPTS for use with routine routine name, where routine name is the short name associated with the routine of interest.
Defaults
Resets all options to their default values.
Option=optval
See Section 11 in E05SAF, E05SBF, E05UCF and E05USF for details of valid values for option and optval. The equals sign (=) delimiter must be used to separate the option from its optval value.
OPTSTR is case insensitive. Each token in the option and optval component must be separated by at least one space.
2:     IOPTS(LIOPTS) – INTEGER arrayCommunication Array
On entry: optional parameter array.
If OPTSTR has the form Initialize=routine name, the contents of IOPTS need not be set.
Otherwise, IOPTS must not have been altered since the last call to E05ZKF, E05ZLF or the selected problem solving routine.
On exit: dependent on the contents of OPTSTR, either an initialized, reset or updated version of the optional parameter array.
3:     LIOPTS – INTEGERInput
On entry: the length of the array IOPTS.
Constraint: unless otherwise stated in the documentation for a specific, supported, problem solving routine, LIOPTS100.
4:     OPTS(LOPTS) – REAL (KIND=nag_wp) arrayCommunication Array
On entry: optional parameter array.
If OPTSTR has the form Initialize=routine name, the contents of OPTS need not be set.
Otherwise, OPTS must not have been altered since the last call to E05ZKF, E05ZLF or the selected problem solving routine.
On exit: dependent on the contents of OPTSTR, either an initialized, reset or updated version of the optional parameter array.
5:     LOPTS – INTEGERInput
On entry: the length of the array OPTS.
Constraint: Unless otherwise stated in the documentation for a specific, supported, problem solving routine, LOPTS100.
6:     IFAIL – INTEGERInput/Output
On entry: IFAIL must be set to 0, -1​ or ​1. If you are unfamiliar with this parameter you should refer to Section 3.3 in the Essential Introduction for details.
For environments where it might be inappropriate to halt program execution when an error is detected, the value -1​ or ​1 is recommended. If the output of error messages is undesirable, then the value 1 is recommended. Otherwise, if you are not familiar with this parameter, the recommended value is 0. When the value -1​ or ​1 is used it is essential to test the value of IFAIL on exit.
On exit: IFAIL=0 unless the routine detects an error or a warning has been flagged (see Section 6).

6  Error Indicators and Warnings

If on entry IFAIL=0 or -1, explanatory error messages are output on the current error message unit (as defined by X04AAF).
Errors or warnings detected by the routine:
IFAIL=11
On entry, the option supplied in OPTSTR was not recognized.
IFAIL=12
On entry, the expected delimiter (=) was not found in OPTSTR.
IFAIL=13
On entry, the optval present in OPTSTR could not be converted into a numeric value.
IFAIL=14
On entry, the option Initialize was identified, however the associated optval was not a supported routine name.
IFAIL=15
On entry, the integer optval associated with the optional parameter is not valid.
IFAIL=16
On entry, the real optval associated with the optional parameter is not valid.
IFAIL=17
On entry, the character optval associated with the optional parameter is not valid.
IFAIL=21
On entry, the optional parameter arrays IOPTS and OPTS have not been initialized, or have been corrupted.
IFAIL=31
On entry, LIOPTS is too small.
IFAIL=51
On entry, LOPTS is too small.

7  Accuracy

Not applicable.

8  Further Comments

Some options have default values which are problem dependent. For example the option Maximum Iterations Completed for E05SAF has the default value 1000×NDIM. If options such as this are set, they may only be set to constant values. If such an option is reset to its DEFAULT value its dependence on the specific problem will be restored.

9  Example

See the example programs associated with the problem solving routine you wish to use for a demonstration of how to use E05ZKF to initialize option arrays and set options.
