e02zkc either initializes or resets the optional parameter arrays or sets a single optional parameter for supported problem solving functions in Chapter E02. Currently, only e02jdc is supported.

2 Specification

#include <nag.h>

void	e02zkc (const char optstr, Integer iopts[], Integer liopts, double opts[], Integer lopts, NagError fail)

The function may be called by the names: e02zkc or nag_fit_opt_set.

3 Description

e02zkc 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 = optval

’; alphabetic characters can be supplied in either upper or lower case. Both

option

and

optval

may consist of one or more tokens separated by white space. The tokens that comprise

optval

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

optval

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 function is called and before any options are queried using e02zlc. To initialize the optional parameter arrays iopts and opts for a specific problem solving function, the option Initialize is used with

optval

identifying the problem solving function to be called. For example, to initialize optional parameter arrays to be passed to e02jdc, e02zkc is called as follows:

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

Information relating to available option names and their corresponding valid values is given in Section 11 in e02jdc.

5 Arguments

1: $optstr$ – const char * Input

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

$Initialize = function name$: Initialize the optional parameter arrays iopts and opts for use with function $function name$ , where $function name$ is the name of the problem solving function you wish to use.
$Defaults$: Resets all options to their default values.

$option = optval$: See Section 11 in 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: $iopts [liopts]$ – Integer Communication Array

On entry: optional parameter array.

If optstr has the form

Initialize = function name

, the contents of iopts need not be set.

Otherwise, iopts MUST NOT have been altered since the last call to e02zkc, 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 parameter array.

3: $liopts$ – Integer Input

On entry: the length of the array iopts.

Constraint: unless otherwise stated in the documentation for a specific, supported, problem solving function,

liopts \geq 100

4: $opts [lopts]$ – double Communication Array

On entry: optional parameter array.

If optstr has the form

Initialize = function name

, the contents of opts need not be set.

Otherwise, opts MUST NOT have been altered since the last call to e02zkc, 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 parameter array.

5: $lopts$ – Integer Input

On entry: the length of the array opts.

Constraint: unless otherwise stated in the documentation for a specific, supported, problem solving function,

lopts \geq 100

6: $fail$ – 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_INT: On entry, $liopts = ⟨ value ⟩$ .
Constraint: $liopts \geq ⟨ value ⟩$ .

On entry, $lopts = ⟨ value ⟩$ .
Constraint: $lopts \geq ⟨ value ⟩$ .
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 7.5 in the Introduction to the NAG Library CL Interface for further information.
NE_INVALID_FORMAT: On entry, could not convert the specified $optval$ to an integer: $optstr = ⟨ value ⟩$ .

On entry, could not convert the specified $optval$ to a real: $optstr = ⟨ value ⟩$ .

On entry, the expected delimiter ‘ $=$ ’ was not found in optstr: $optstr = ⟨ value ⟩$ .
NE_INVALID_OPTION: On entry, either the option arrays have not been initialized or they have been corrupted.

On entry, the optional parameter in optstr was not recognized: $optstr = ⟨ value ⟩$ .
NE_INVALID_VALUE: On entry, the $optval$ supplied for the character optional parameter is not valid.
$optstr = ⟨ value ⟩$ .

On entry, the $optval$ supplied for the integer optional parameter is not valid.
$optstr = ⟨ value ⟩$ .

On entry, the $optval$ supplied for the real optional parameter is not valid.
$optstr = ⟨ value ⟩$ .
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_FUN_NAME: On entry, attempting to initialize the optional parameter arrays but specified function name was not valid: $name = ⟨ value ⟩$ .

7 Accuracy

Not applicable.

8 Parallelism and Performance

e02zkc is threaded by NAG for parallel execution in multithreaded implementations of the NAG Library.

Please consult the X06 Chapter Introduction for information on how to control and interrogate the OpenMP environment used within this function. Please also consult the Users' Note for your implementation for any additional implementation-specific information.

9 Further Comments

None.
