CL Name Style:


1 Purpose

h02zlc is used to query the value of optional parameters available to supported problem solving functions in Chapter H.
Currently, only h02dac is supported.

2 Specification

#include <nag.h>
void  h02zlc (const char *optstr, Integer *ivalue, double *rvalue, char *cvalue, Integer lcvalue, Nag_VariableType *optype, const Integer iopts[], const double opts[], NagError *fail)
The function may be called by the names: h02zlc, nag_mip_optget or nag_mip_opt_get.

3 Description

h02zlc is used to query the current values of options. It is necessary to initialize optional parameter arrays using h02zkc before any options are queried.
h02zlc will normally return either an integer, real or character value dependent upon the type associated with the optional parameter being queried. Some real and integer options also return additional information in cvalue. Whether the option queried is of integer, real or character type, and whether additional information is returned in cvalue, is indicated by the returned value of optype.
Information on optional parameter names and whether these options are real, integer or character can be found in Section 11 in h02dac.

5 Arguments

1: optstr const char * Input
On entry: a string identifying the option whose current value is required. See Section 11 in h02dac for information on valid options. In addition, the following is a valid option:
Identify
h02zlc returns in cvalue the function name supplied to h02zkc when the optional parameter arrays iopts and opts were initialized.
2: ivalue Integer * Output
On exit: if the optional parameter supplied in optstr is an integer valued parameter, ivalue will hold its current value.
3: rvalue double * Output
On exit: if the optional parameter supplied in optstr is a real valued parameter, rvalue will hold its current value.
4: cvalue char * Output
Note: the string returned in cvalue will never exceed min(lcvalue,41) characters in length (including the null terminator).
On exit: if the optional parameter supplied in optstr is a character valued parameter, cvalue will hold its current value. cvalue will also contain additional information for some integer and real valued parameters, as indicated by optype.
5: lcvalue Integer Input
On entry: length of cvalue. At most lcvalue-1 non-null characters will be written into cvalue.
Constraint: lcvalue>1.
6: optype Nag_VariableType * Output
On exit: indicates whether the optional parameter supplied in optstr is an integer, real or character valued parameter and hence which of ivalue, rvalue or cvalue holds the current value.
optype=Nag_Integer
optstr is an integer valued optional parameter, its current value has been returned in ivalue.
optype=Nag_Real
optstr is a real valued optional parameter, its current value has been returned in rvalue.
optype=Nag_Character
optstr is a character valued optional parameter, its current value has been returned in cvalue.
optype=Nag_Integer_Additional
optstr is an integer valued optional parameter, its current value has been returned in ivalue. Additional information has been returned in cvalue.
optype=Nag_Real_Additional
optstr is a real valued optional parameter, its current value has been returned in rvalue. Additional information has been returned in cvalue.
7: iopts[dim] const Integer Communication Array
Note: the dimension, dim, of this array is dictated by the requirements of associated functions that must have been previously called. This array MUST be the same array passed as argument iopts in the previous call to h02zkc.
8: opts[dim] const double Communication Array
Note: the dimension, dim, of this array is dictated by the requirements of associated functions that must have been previously called. This array MUST be the same array passed as argument opts in the previous call to h02zkc.
9: fail NagError * Input/Output
The NAG error argument (see Section 7 in the Introduction to the NAG Library CL Interface).

6 Error Indicators and Warnings

NE_ALLOC_FAIL
Dynamic memory allocation failed.
See Section 3.1.2 in the Introduction to the NAG Library CL Interface for further information.
NE_BAD_PARAM
On entry, argument value had an illegal value.
NE_INT
On entry, lcvalue=value.
Constraint: lcvalue>1.
NE_INTERNAL_ERROR
An internal error has occurred in this function. Check the function call and any array sizes. If the call is correct then please contact NAG for assistance.
See Section 7.5 in the Introduction to the NAG Library CL Interface for further information.
NE_INVALID_OPTION
On entry, the option in optstr has not been recognized.
The arrays iopts and opts have either not been initialized, have become corrupted, or are not compatible with this option setting function.
NE_NO_LICENCE
Your licence key may have expired or may not have been installed correctly.
See Section 8 in the Introduction to the NAG Library CL Interface for further information.
NW_TRUNCATED
On entry, optstr indicates a character optional parameter, but cvalue is too short to hold the stored value. The returned value will be truncated.

7 Accuracy

Not applicable.

8 Parallelism and Performance

h02zlc is not threaded in any implementation.

9 Further Comments
