## 1Purpose

e04rwf is a part of the NAG optimization modelling suite. It allows an Integer piece of information to be read from or written to the problem stored in the handle. For example, it may be used to extract the current problem sizes and statistics.

## 2Specification

Fortran Interface
 Subroutine e04rwf ( iarr,
 Integer, Intent (In) :: ioflag Integer, Intent (Inout) :: liarr, iarr(liarr), ifail Character (*), Intent (In) :: cmdstr Type (c_ptr), Intent (In) :: handle
#include <nag.h>
 void e04rwf_ (void **handle, const char *cmdstr, const Integer *ioflag, Integer *liarr, Integer iarr[], Integer *ifail, const Charlen length_cmdstr)
The routine may be called by the names e04rwf or nagf_opt_handle_set_get_integer.

## 3Description

e04rwf adds an additional means of communication to routines within the NAG optimization modelling suite. It allows you to either read or write a piece of information in the handle in the form of an integer array. The item is identified by cmdstr and the direction of the communication is set by ioflag. The functionality is limited in this release of the NAG Library to the retrieval of the problem size and statistics.
General information on available cmdstr is as follows.
cmdstr Description Direction of communication liarr
BASIS The current state of the variables and slacks of the problem. It can also be referred as WARM START BASIS. Read and write $*$
PINFO The current problem sizes and statistics as pinfo defined in e04saf Read $100$
MCS Number Points Used to provide a custom initialization list for the solver e05kbf. Write nvar
MCS Initial Points Used to provide a custom initialization list for the solver e05kbf. Write nvar
See Section 3.1 in the E04 Chapter Introduction for more details about the NAG optimization modelling suite.

None.

## 5Arguments

1: $\mathbf{handle}$Type (c_ptr) Input
On entry: the handle to the problem. It needs to be initialized by e04raf and must not be changed between calls to the NAG optimization modelling suite.
2: $\mathbf{cmdstr}$Character(*) Input
On entry: a string which identifies the item within the handle to be read or written. The string is case insensitive and space tolerant.
Constraint: ${\mathbf{cmdstr}}=\text{'BASIS'}$, $\text{'PINFO'}$ or $\text{'WARM START BASIS'}$.
3: $\mathbf{ioflag}$Integer Input
On entry: indicates the direction of the communication.
${\mathbf{ioflag}}\ne 0$
e04rwf will extract the requested information from the handle to iarr.
${\mathbf{ioflag}}=0$
The writing mode will apply and the content of iarr will be copied to the handle.
4: $\mathbf{liarr}$Integer Input/Output
On entry: the dimension of the array iarr.
On exit: the correct expected dimension of iarr if liarr does not match the item identified by cmdstr (in this case e04rwf returns ${\mathbf{ifail}}={\mathbf{2}}$).
5: $\mathbf{iarr}\left({\mathbf{liarr}}\right)$Integer array Input/Output
On entry: if ${\mathbf{ioflag}}=0$ (write mode), iarr must contain the information to be written to the handle; otherwise, it does not need to be set.
On exit: if ${\mathbf{ioflag}}\ne 0$ (read mode), iarr contains the information requested by cmdstr; otherwise, iarr is unchanged.
6: $\mathbf{ifail}$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 $-1$ is recommended since useful values can be provided in some output arguments even when ${\mathbf{ifail}}\ne {\mathbf{0}}$ on exit. When the value $-\mathbf{1}$ or $\mathbf{1}$ is used it is essential to test the value of ifail on exit.
On exit: ${\mathbf{ifail}}={\mathbf{0}}$ unless the routine detects an error or a warning has been flagged (see Section 6).

## 6Error Indicators and Warnings

If on entry ${\mathbf{ifail}}=0$ or $-1$, explanatory error messages are output on the current error message unit (as defined by x04aaf).
Errors or warnings detected by the routine:
Note: in some cases e04rwf may return useful information.
${\mathbf{ifail}}=1$
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.
${\mathbf{ifail}}=2$
On entry, ${\mathbf{liarr}}=⟨\mathit{\text{value}}⟩$, expected $\mathrm{value}=⟨\mathit{\text{value}}⟩$.
Constraint: liarr must match the size of the data identified in cmdstr.
${\mathbf{ifail}}=3$
The provided cmdstr is not recognised.
${\mathbf{ifail}}=4$
Reading mode is not supported for the given cmdstr.
${\mathbf{ifail}}=5$
Writing mode is not supported for the given cmdstr.
${\mathbf{ifail}}=6$
