G02ZKF either initializes or resets the optional parameter arrays or sets a single optional parameter for supported problem solving routines in
Chapter G02. Currently, only
G02QGF is supported.
G02ZKF has three purposes: to initialize optional parameter arrays, 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 ’; alphabetic characters can be supplied in either upper or lower case. Both
option and
may consist of one or more tokens separated by white space. The tokens that comprise
will normally be either an integer, real or character value as defined in the description of the specific optional argument. In addition all optional parameters can take an
DEFAULT which resets the optional parameter to its default value.
It is imperative that optional parameter arrays are initialized before any options are set, before the relevant problem solving routine is called and before any options are queried using
G02ZLF. To initialize the optional parameter arrays
IOPTS and
OPTS for a specific problem solving routine, the option
Initialize is used with
identifying the problem solving routine to be called, via its short name. For example, to initialize optional parameter arrays to be passed to
G02QGF, G02ZKF is called as follows:
Information relating to available option names and their corresponding valid values is given in
Section 11 in G02QGF.
None.
If on entry
or

X04AAF).
