1 Purpose

e04vlf may be used to supply individual optional parameters to e04vhf. The initialization routine e04vgf must have been called before calling e04vlf.

2 Specification

Fortran Interface
Subroutine e04vlf ( string, cw, iw, rw, ifail)
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 <nag.h>
void  e04vlf_ (const char *st, char cw[], Integer iw[], double rw[], Integer *ifail, const Charlen length_st, const Charlen length_cw)
The routine may be called by the names e04vlf or nagf_opt_nlp2_sparse_option_string.

3 Description

e04vlf may be used to supply values for optional parameters to e04vhf. It is only necessary to call e04vlf for those arguments whose values are to be different from their default values. One call to e04vlf sets one argument value.
Each optional parameter is defined by a single character string, of up to 72 characters, consisting of one or more items. The items associated with a given option must be separated by spaces, or equals signs [=]. Alphabetic characters may be upper or lower case. The string
Print Level = 1
is an example of a string used to set an optional parameter. For each option the string contains one or more of the following items:
For e04vlf, each user-specified option is not normally printed as it is defined, but this printing may be turned on using the keyword List. Thus the statement
Call e04vlf ('List', cw, iw, rw, ifail)
turns on printing of this and subsequent options. Printing may be turned off again using the keyword Nolist.
Optional parameter settings are preserved following a call to e04vhf 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 e04vhf.
A complete list of optional parameters, their abbreviations, synonyms and default values is given in Section 12 in e04vhf.

5 Arguments

1: string Character(*) Input
On entry: a single valid option string (see Section 3 in e04vlf and Section 12 in e04vhf).
2: cw(*) Character(8) array Communication Array
Note: the actual argument supplied must be the array cw supplied to the initialization routine e04vgf.
3: iw(*) Integer array Communication Array
Note: the actual argument supplied must be the array iw supplied to the initialization routine e04vgf.
4: rw(*) Real (Kind=nag_wp) array Communication Array
Note: the actual argument supplied must be the array rw supplied to the initialization routine e04vgf.
5: ifail Integer Input/Output
On entry: ifail must be set to 0, -1 or 1 to set behaviour on detection of an error; these values have no effect when no error is detected.
A value of 0 causes the printing of an error message and program execution will be halted; otherwise program execution continues. A value of -1 means that an error message is printed while a value of 1 means that it is not.
If halting is not appropriate, the value -1 or 1 is recommended. If message printing is undesirable, then the value 1 is recommended. Otherwise, the value 0 is recommended. 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=1
The initialization routine e04vgf has not been called.
ifail=2
The supplied option is invalid. Check that the keywords are neither ambiguous nor misspelt. The option string is ‘value’.
ifail=-99
An unexpected error has been triggered by this routine. Please contact NAG.

7 Accuracy

Not applicable.

8 Parallelism and Performance

e04vlf is not threaded in any implementation.

9 Further Comments

e04vkf, e04vmf or e04vnf may also be used to supply optional parameters to e04vhf.
