Purpose

nag_glopt_bnd_mcs_optset_char (e05jec) may be used to supply individual ‘ON’/‘OFF’-valued character optional parameters to nag_glopt_bnd_mcs_solve (e05jbc). The initialization function nag_glopt_bnd_mcs_init (e05jac) must have been called before calling nag_glopt_bnd_mcs_optset_char (e05jec).

Specification

#include <nag.h>
#include <nage05.h>
void  nag_glopt_bnd_mcs_optset_char (const char *optstr, const char *cvalue, Nag_E05State *state, NagError *fail)

Description

nag_glopt_bnd_mcs_optset_char (e05jec) may be used to supply values for ‘ON’/‘OFF’-valued character optional parameters to nag_glopt_bnd_mcs_solve (e05jbc). It is only necessary to call nag_glopt_bnd_mcs_optset_char (e05jec) for those arguments whose values are to be different from their default values. One call to nag_glopt_bnd_mcs_optset_char (e05jec) sets one argument value.
Each ‘ON’/‘OFF’-valued character optional parameter is defined by a single character string in optstr and the corresponding value in cvalue. For example, the following allows local searches to be turned off:
strcpy(&lcsrch[0],"Off");
e05jec ('Local Searches', lcsrch, &state, &fail);
A complete list of optional parameters, their symbolic names and default values is given in Section 12 in nag_glopt_bnd_mcs_solve (e05jbc).

Arguments

1:     optstr const char *Input
On entry: a string defining a single ‘ON’/‘OFF’-valued character optional parameter (as described in Section 12 in nag_glopt_bnd_mcs_solve (e05jbc)).
2:     cvalue const char *Input
On entry: the ‘ON’/‘OFF’ value associated with the keyword in optstr.
3:     state Nag_E05State *Communication Structure
state contains information required by other functions in this suite. You must not modify it directly in any way.
4:     fail NagError *Input/Output
The NAG error argument (see Section 3.7 in How to Use the NAG Library and its Documentation).

Error Indicators and Warnings

NE_ALLOC_FAIL
Dynamic memory allocation failed.
See Section 2.3.1.2 in How to Use the NAG Library and its Documentation 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.
See Section 2.7.6 in How to Use the NAG Library and its Documentation for further information.
NE_NO_LICENCE
Your licence key may have expired or may not have been installed correctly.
See Section 2.7.5 in How to Use the NAG Library and its Documentation for further information.
NE_NOT_INIT
Initialization function nag_glopt_bnd_mcs_init (e05jac) has not been called.
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.
