e04ntf (qpconvex2_sparse_option_integer_set)

1
Purpose

e04ntf may be used to supply individual integer optional parameters to e04nqf. The initialization routine e04npf must have been called before calling e04ntf.

Specification

Fortran Interface
Subroutine e04ntf ( string, ivalue, cw, iw, rw, ifail)
Integer, Intent (In):: ivalue
Integer, Intent (Inout):: iw(*), ifail
Real (Kind=nag_wp), Intent (Inout):: rw(*)
Character (*), Intent (In):: string
Character (8), Intent (Inout):: cw(*)
C Header Interface
#include <nagmk26.h>
void  e04ntf_ (const char *st, const Integer *ivalue, char cw[], Integer iw[], double rw[], Integer *ifail, const Charlen length_st, const Charlen length_cw)

Description

e04ntf may be used to supply values for integer optional parameters to e04nqf. It is only necessary to call e04ntf for those arguments whose values are to be different from their default values. One call to e04ntf sets one argument value.
Each integer optional parameter is defined by a single character string in string and the corresponding value in ivalue. For example, the following allows the iteration limit to be defined:
itnlim = 1000
If (m > 500) itnlim = 500
Call e04ntf ('Iterations', itnlim, cw, iw, rw, ifail)
Optional parameter settings are preserved following a call to e04nqf and so the keyword Defaults is provided to allow you to reset all the optional parameters to their default values before a subsequent call to e04nqf.
A complete list of optional parameters, their abbreviations, synonyms and default values is given in Section 12 in e04nqf.

Arguments

1:     string – Character(*)Input
On entry: a single valid keyword of an integer optional parameter (as described in Section 12 in e04nqf).
2:     ivalue – IntegerInput
On entry: an integer value associated with the keyword in string.
3:     cw* – Character(8) arrayCommunication Array
Note: the dimension of the array cw must be at least lencw (see e04npf).
4:     iw* – Integer arrayCommunication Array
Note: the dimension of the array iw must be at least leniw (see e04npf).
5:     rw* – Real (Kind=nag_wp) arrayCommunication Array
Note: the dimension of the array rw must be at least lenrw (see e04npf).
6:     ifail – IntegerInput/Output
On entry: ifail must be set to 0, -1 or 1. If you are unfamiliar with this argument you should refer to Section 3.4 in How to Use the NAG Library and its Documentation 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 argument, 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).

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=1
The initialization routine e04npf has not been called.
ifail=2
The supplied option is invalid. Check that the keywords are neither ambiguous nor misspelt.
ifail=-99
An unexpected error has been triggered by this routine. Please contact NAG.
See Section 3.9 in How to Use the NAG Library and its Documentation for further information.
ifail=-399

Parallelism and Performance

e04ntf is not threaded in any implementation.

Further Comments

e04nrf or e04nsf may also be used to supply integer optional parameters to e04nqf.
