e04ujf  (nlp1_sparse_option_string_old)
e04uja (nlp1_sparse_option_string)

Note: this routine is deprecated. Replaced by e04srf.
This was an option setting routine for e04ugf/​e04uga which has been superseded by e04srf. e04srf is part of the NAG optimization modelling suite (see Section 3.1 in the E04 Chapter Introduction) which uses the option setting facilities common to that suite.

1 Purpose

To supply individual optional parameters to e04ugf/​e04uga. More precisely, e04ujf must be used to supply optional parameters to e04ugf and e04uja must be used to supply optional parameters to e04uga.
e04uja is a version of e04ujf that has additional arguments in order to make it safe for use in multithreaded applications (see Section 5). The initialization routine e04wbf must have been called before calling e04uja.

3 Description

e04ujf/​e04uja may be used to supply values for optional parameters to e04ugf/​e04uga. It is only necessary to call e04ujf/​e04uja for those arguments whose values are to be different from their default values. One call to e04ujf/​e04uja 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:
Blank strings and comments are ignored. A comment begins with an asterisk (*) and all subsequent characters in the string are regarded as part of the comment.
For e04ujf, each user-specified option is normally printed as it is defined, on the current advisory message unit (see x04abf), but this printing may be suppressed using the keyword Nolist. Thus the statement
Call e04ujf/​e04uja ('Nolist')
suppresses printing of this and subsequent options. Printing will automatically be turned on again after a call to e04ugf and may be turned on again at any time using the keyword List.
For e04uja printing is turned off by default, but may be turned on at any time using the keyword List.
Optional parameter settings are preserved following a call to e04ugf/​e04uga 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 e04ugf/​e04uga.
A complete list of optional parameters, their abbreviations, synonyms and default values is given in Section 12 in e04ugf/​e04uga.

5 Arguments

1: str Character(*) Input
On entry: a single valid option string (as described in Section 3 and in Section 12 in e04ugf/​e04uga).
Note: the following are additional arguments for specific use with e04uja. Users of e04ujf therefore need not read the remainder of this description.
2: lwsav(20) Logical array Communication Array
3: iwsav(550) Integer array Communication Array
4: rwsav(550) Real (Kind=nag_wp) array Communication Array
The arrays lwsav, iwsav and rwsav must not be altered between calls to any of the routines e04uja, e04uga, e04uha or e04wbf.
5: inform Integer Output
On exit: contains zero if a valid option string has been supplied and a value>0; otherwise, (see Section 6).

6 Error Indicators and Warnings

inform=5
The supplied option string is invalid. Check that the keywords are neither ambiguous nor misspelt.

7 Accuracy

Not applicable.

8 Parallelism and Performance

Background information to multithreading can be found in the Multithreading documentation.
e04ujf/​e04uja is not threaded in any implementation.

9 Further Comments

e04uhf/​e04uha may also be used to supply optional parameters to e04ugf/​e04uga.
