question about parameter initiate for transportation problem

Hi Everyone,

I followed SAS OR example and made some modification as following. However, there are some error message I have no idea how to sole. Could you give me some suggestions? Thank you!

The error message of the following code are:

read data transport_cost_data into [o_city]
_

NOTE 771-782: The name 'o_city' hides an outer declaration.
55 {d_city in D_CITY} <transport_cost[o_city,d_city] = col(d_city)>;
______

These are only NOTEs and not ERRORs. They arise because you are using o_city as a dummy index and O_CITY as a declared parameter. Same story with d_city and D_CITY. Because PROC OPTMODEL is case-insensitive, these look the same. You can avoid the NOTEs by renaming one of them.
