1 Purpose

e05jdc may be used to supply individual optional parameters to e05jbc. The initialization function e05jac must have been called before calling e05jdc.

2 Specification

#include <nag.h>
void  e05jdc (const char *optstr, Nag_E05State *state, NagError *fail)
The function may be called by the names: e05jdc or nag_glopt_bnd_mcs_optset_string.

3 Description

e05jdc may be used to supply values for optional parameters to e05jbc. It is only necessary to call e05jdc for those arguments whose values are to be different from their default values. One call to e05jdc sets one argument value.
Each optional parameter is defined by a single character string, consisting of one or more items. The items associated with a given optional parameter must be separated by spaces, or equals signs [=]. Alphabetic characters may be upper or lower case. The string
Static Limit = 100
is an example of a string used to set an optional parameter. For each optional parameter the string contains one or more of the following items:
For e05jdc, each user-specified optional parameter is not normally printed as it is defined, but this printing may be turned on using the keyword List. Thus the statement
e05jdc ("List", &state, &fail);
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 e05jbc 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 e05jbc.
A complete list of optional parameters, their symbolic names and default values is given in Section 12 in e05jbc.

5 Arguments

1: optstr const char * Input
On entry: a string defining a single optional parameter (as described in Section 3 and in Section 12 in e05jbc). The implied data type (character, integer or real) of each value to set must match that expected by the optional parameter.
2: state Nag_E05State * Communication Structure
state contains information required by other functions in this suite. You must not modify it directly in any way.
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_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.

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.
NE_NOT_INIT
Initialization function e05jac has not been called.
NE_NOT_PARSED
The value to be set could not be parsed. Check that it specifies a valid integer or real value.
NE_OPT_NOT_READ
The supplied optional parameter is invalid. A keyword or keyword combination was not recognized.
NE_OUT_OF_RANGE
Attempt to assign an illegal value of Local Searches (lcsrch): lcsrch=value.
Attempt to assign an illegal value of Repeatability (repeat): repeat=value.
Attempt to assign a non-positive value of Function Evaluations Limit (nf): nf=value.
Attempt to assign a non-positive value of Local Searches Limit (loclim): loclim=value.
Attempt to assign a non-positive value of Static Limit (stclim): stclim=value.
Attempt to assign an out-of-bounds value of Infinite Bound Size (infbnd): infbnd=value.
Attempt to assign too small a value of Local Searches Tolerance (loctol): loctol=value.
Attempt to assign too small a value of Target Objective Error (objerr): objerr=value.
Attempt to assign too small a value of Target Objective Safeguard (objsfg): objsfg=value.
