How to get these example data from e.g. an Excel file (or ascii file):
Var c1 c2
A 2 5
B 4 3
C 6 7
Into the vectors c1 and c2 in the below program.
Proc optmodel;
set box={"A","B","C"};
var Q{i in box} >=0;
number c1{i in box}=[2 4 6];
number c2{i in box}=[5 3 7];
etc.
quit;
Calling @RobPratt
First convert to a SAS data set, say indata, by using PROC IMPORT or a DATA _null_ step. Then use the READ DATA statement:
Proc optmodel;
set <str> box;
var Q{box} >=0;
number c1{box};
number c2{box};
read data indata into box=[Var] c1 c2;
print c1 c2;
quit;
PROC OPTMODEL questions will get more immediate response in the Mathematical Optimization, Discrete-Event Simulation, and OR community.
Thanks a lot!
But I do not see how to get each line or Product (Var A, B, C) – into e.g. c1 {i in box}.
Proc optmodel;
set box={"A","B","C"};
var Q{i in box} >=0;
number c1{i in box}=[2 4 6];
number c2{i in box}=[5 3 7];
The READ DATA statement populates box, c1, and c2 for you. That way, you can solve a different instance of the same problem just by changing data sets without having to change your PROC OPTMODEL code.
