Could anyone please explain what difference does a fix statement make in the optmodel procedure?

 

Thanks in advance.

Initial value vs. actually fixed value. Compare results.

Proc optmodel;
var x;
x=2;
con con: x<=10;
max obj=x;
solve;
put x=;
quit;

Proc optmodel;
var x;
fix x=2;
con con: x<=10;
max obj=x;
solve;
put x=;
quit;

It sets/fixes a variable to a certain value.

 

Exactly as in:

 

 proc optmodel;
      var x{1..10};
      fix x = 0;
      fix x[10] = 1;

Thanks for the reply.

 

But, what's the diffrence between the following two programs?

 

1)

Proc optmodel;

var x;

x=2;

put x=;

quit;

 

2)

Proc optmodel;

var x;

fix x=2;

put x=;

quit;
