e04zpc may be used to supply values for optional parameters to the solver from an external file. It can only be called on handles which have been initialized by
e04rac and before the call to the solver.
e04zpc looks in the file for a specific section containing the optional parameters. The section must start with a line
Begin and must finish with a line
End. Anything outside the section is ignored. If there is more than one section like this, only the first one is processed. Any line within the section is either blank or a comment which is ignored or defines a single optional parameter as if it had been set by
e04zmc. The implied data type (character, integer or real) of each value to be set
must match that expected by the corresponding optional parameter. It is only necessary to supply values for those arguments whose values are to be different from their default values. A comment begins with an asterisk (*) and all subsequent characters to the end of the line are ignored. Comments can also be placed after the optional parameter. The file is case insensitive.
Note that the optional parameters printed by the solver or by
e04ryc are in the compatible format. An example of a valid options file is:
Begin * Example options file
Print Level = 3
Monitoring Level = 5 * output all details
Monitoring File = 42 * to this file
End
