e04uec (nlp1_option_string)

e04uec may be used to supply values for optional parameters to e04ufc. It is only necessary to call e04uec for those arguments whose values are to be different from their default values. One call to e04uec sets one argument value.

Each optional parameter is defined by a single character string, consisting of one or more items. The items associated with a given option must be separated by spaces, or equals signs

[=]

. Alphabetic characters may be upper or lower case. The string

Print Level = 1

is an example of a string used to set an optional parameter. For each option the string contains one or more of the following items:

–a mandatory keyword;
–a phrase that qualifies the keyword;
–a number that specifies an Integer or double value. Such numbers may be up to $40$ contiguous characters which can be read using C's d or g formats, terminated by a space if this is not the last item on the line.

Blank strings and comments are ignored. A comment begins with an asterisk (*) and all subsequent characters in the string are regarded as part of the comment.

Printing of user-specified options is turned off by default. It may be turned on at any time using the keyword

List

Optional parameter settings are preserved following a call to e04ufc and so the keyword

Defaults

is provided to allow you to reset all the optional parameters to their default values before a subsequent call to e04ufc.

A complete list of optional parameters, their abbreviations, synonyms and default values is given in Section 12 in e04ufc.
