NAG FL Interface
e04uef  (nlp1_option_string_old)
e04uea (nlp1_option_string)

1 Purpose

To supply individual optional parameters to e04ucf/​e04uca. More precisely, e04uef must be used to supply optional parameters to e04ucf and e04uea must be used to supply optional parameters to e04uca.
e04uea is a version of e04uef that has additional arguments in order to make it safe for use in multithreaded applications (see Section 5). The initialization routine e04wbf must have been called before calling e04uea.
e04uef/​e04uea can also be used to supply individual optional parameters to e04uff/​e04ufa.

3 Description

e04uef/​e04uea may be used to supply values for optional parameters to e04ucf/​e04uca. It is only necessary to call e04uef/​e04uea for those arguments whose values are to be different from their default values. One call to e04uef/​e04uea sets one argument value.
Each optional parameter is defined by a single character string, of up to 72 characters, 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:
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.
For e04uef, each user-specified option is normally printed as it is defined, on the current advisory message unit (see x04abf), but this printing may be suppressed using the keyword Nolist. Thus the statement
Call e04uef/​e04uea ('Nolist')
suppresses printing of this and subsequent options. Printing will automatically be turned on again after a call to e04ucf and may be turned on again at any time using the keyword List.
For e04uea printing is turned off by default, but may be turned on at any time using the keyword List.
Optional parameter settings are preserved following a call to e04ucf/​e04uca 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 e04ucf/​e04uca.
A complete list of optional parameters, their abbreviations, synonyms and default values is given in Section 12 in e04ucf/​e04uca.

5 Arguments

1: str Character(*) Input
On entry: a single valid option string (as described in Section 3 and in Section 12 in e04ucf/​e04uca).
Note: the following are additional arguments for specific use with e04uea. Users of e04uef therefore need not read the remainder of this description.
2: lwsav120 Logical array Communication Array
3: iwsav610 Integer array Communication Array
4: rwsav475 Real (Kind=nag_wp) array Communication Array
The arrays lwsav, iwsav and rwsav must not be altered between calls to any of the routines e04uea, e04uca, e04uda and e04wbf.
5: inform Integer Output
On exit: contains zero if a valid option string has been supplied and a value>0 otherwise (see Section 6).

6 Error Indicators and Warnings

inform=5
The supplied option string is invalid. Check that the keywords are neither ambiguous nor misspelt.

7 Accuracy

Not applicable.

8 Parallelism and Performance

e04uef/​e04uea is not threaded in any implementation.

9 Further Comments

e04udf/​e04uda may also be used to supply optional parameters to e04ucf/​e04uca.
