E05ZKF either initializes or resets the optional parameter arrays or sets a single optional parameter for supported problem solving routines in
Chapter E05.
The following routines are supported:
E05ZKF 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
E05ZLF. To initialize the optional parameter arrays
IOPTS and
OPTS for a specific problem solving routine, the option
Initialize is used with
optval identifying the problem solving routine to be called, via its short name. For example, to initialize optional parameter arrays to be passed to
E05SAF, E05ZKF is called as follows:
Information relating to available option names and their corresponding valid values is given in Section 11 in
E05SAF,
E05SBF,
E05UCF and
E05USF.
None.
If on entry
or
, explanatory error messages are output on the current error message unit (as defined by
X04AAF).
Not applicable.
Some options have default values which are problem dependent. For example the option
Maximum Iterations Completed for
E05SAF has the default value
. If options such as this are set, they may only be set to constant values. If such an option is reset to its DEFAULT value its dependence on the specific problem will be restored.
See the example programs associated with the problem solving routine you wish to use for a demonstration of how to use E05ZKF to initialize option arrays and set options.
