CL Name Style:


1 Purpose

e04zmc is an option setting function for all solvers from the NAG optimization modelling suite. It can set a single optional parameter or reset all of them to their default.

2 Specification

#include <nag.h>
void  e04zmc (void *handle, const char *optstr, NagError *fail)
The function may be called by the names: e04zmc or nag_opt_handle_opt_set.

3 Description

e04zmc can only be called on handles which have been correctly initialized (e.g., by e04rac) and not during the call to the solver. It has two purposes: 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 parameter. In addition all optional parameters can take an optval DEFAULT which resets the optional parameter to its default value.
Information relating to available option names and their corresponding valid values is given in the documentation of the particular solver. See also Section 4.1 in the E04 Chapter Introduction for more details about the NAG optimization modelling suite.

5 Arguments

1: handle void * Input
On entry: the handle to the problem. It needs to be initialized (e.g., by e04rac) and must not be changed between calls to the NAG optimization modelling suite.
2: optstr const char * Input
On entry: a string identifying the optional parameter and its value to be set.
Defaults
Resets all options to their default values.
Option=optval
See the documentation of the particular solver for details of valid values for option and optval. The equals sign (=) delimiter must be used to separate the option from its optval value.
Option=Default
Resets the given optional parameter back to its default value.
optstr is case insensitive. Each token in the option and optval component must be separated by at least one space.
3: 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_HANDLE
The supplied handle does not define a valid handle to the data structure for the NAG optimization modelling suite. It has not been properly initialized or it has been corrupted.
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_FORMAT
On entry, could not convert the specified optval to an integer: optval=value.
On entry, could not convert the specified optval to a real: optval=value.
On entry, the expected delimiter ‘=’ was not found in optstr: optstr=value.
NE_INVALID_OPTION
On entry, the option supplied in optstr was not recognized: optstr=value.
NE_INVALID_VALUE
On entry, the optval supplied for the character optional parameter is not valid.
option=value, optval=value.
On entry, the optval supplied for the integer optional parameter is not valid.
option=value, optval=value.
Constraint: optval<value.
