nag_fit_opt_set("Initialize = e02jdc", iopts, liopts, opts, lopts, &fail);

5  Arguments

1:     optstr – const char *Input

On entry: a string identifying the option to be set.

$\mathbf{Initialize}=\mathit{function\; name}$

Initialize the optional argument arrays iopts and opts for use with function $\mathit{function\; name}$, where $\mathit{function\; name}$ is the short name of the problem solving function you wish to use.

$\mathbf{Defaults}$

Resets all options to their default values.

$\mathit{option}=\mathit{optval}$

See Section 11 in nag_2d_spline_fit_ts_scat (e02jdc) for details of valid values for option and optval. The equals sign ($=$) delimiter must be used to separate the option from its optval.

The processing of optstr does not depend on its case. Each token in the option and optval component must be separated by at least one space.

2:     iopts[liopts] – IntegerCommunication Array

On entry: optional argument array.

If optstr has the form $\mathbf{Initialize}=\mathit{function\; name}$, the contents of iopts need not be set.

Otherwise, iopts MUST NOT have been altered since the last call to nag_fit_opt_set (e02zkc), nag_fit_opt_get (e02zlc) or the selected problem solving function or suite of functions.

On exit: dependent on the contents of optstr, either an initialized, reset or updated version of the optional argument array.

3:     liopts – IntegerInput

On entry: the length of the array iopts.

Constraint: unless otherwise stated in the documentation for a specific, supported, problem solving function, $\mathbf{liopts}\ge 100$.

4:     opts[lopts] – doubleCommunication Array

On entry: optional argument array.

If optstr has the form $\mathbf{Initialize}=\mathit{function\; name}$, the contents of opts need not be set.

Otherwise, opts MUST NOT have been altered since the last call to nag_fit_opt_set (e02zkc), nag_fit_opt_get (e02zlc) or the selected problem solving function or suite of functions.

On exit: dependent on the contents of optstr, either an initialized, reset or updated version of the optional argument array.

5:     lopts – IntegerInput

On entry: the length of the array opts.

Constraint: unless otherwise stated in the documentation for a specific, supported, problem solving function, $\mathbf{lopts}\ge 100$.

6:     fail – NagError *Input/Output

The NAG error argument (see Section 3.6 in the Essential Introduction).

6  Error Indicators and Warnings

NE_BAD_PARAM

On entry, argument $⟨\mathit{\text{value}}⟩$ had an illegal value.

NE_INT

On entry, $\mathbf{liopts}=⟨\mathit{\text{value}}⟩$.
Constraint: $\mathbf{liopts}\ge ⟨\mathit{\text{value}}⟩$.

On entry, $\mathbf{lopts}=⟨\mathit{\text{value}}⟩$.
Constraint: $\mathbf{lopts}\ge ⟨\mathit{\text{value}}⟩$.

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_INVALID_FORMAT

On entry, could not convert the specified optval to an integer: .

On entry, could not convert the specified optval to a real: .

On entry, the expected delimiter ‘$=$’ was not found in optstr: .

NE_INVALID_OPTION

On entry, either the option arrays have not been initialized or they have been corrupted.

On entry, the optional argument in optstr was not recognized: .

NE_INVALID_VALUE

On entry, the optval supplied for the character optional argument is not valid.
.

On entry, the optval supplied for the integer optional argument is not valid.
.

On entry, the optval supplied for the real optional argument is not valid.
.

NE_NOT_FUN_NAME

On entry, attempting to initialize the optional argument arrays but specified function name was not valid: .
