Hi - I'm running an optimization program and running into this error (below). The code is below as well. 

 

Excerpt from log:

NOTE: Problem generation will use 4 threads.
NOTE: The problem has 8740 variables (0 free, 0 fixed).
NOTE: The problem has 9 linear constraints (8 LE, 0 EQ, 1 GE, 0 range).
NOTE: The problem has 33508 linear constraint coefficients.
NOTE: The problem has 0 nonlinear constraints (0 LE, 0 EQ, 0 GE, 0 range).
NOTE: The OPTMODEL presolver is disabled for linear problems.
NOTE: The LP presolver value AUTOMATIC is applied.
NOTE: The LP presolver found this problem to be infeasible or unbounded.

 

Thank you!

*The first several PROC OPTMODEL statements declare index sets and parameters and then read the input data:;

I don't immediately see anything wrong with the PROC OPTMODEL code, which is nearly identical to this doc example.

 

Can you please share the input data so that I can try to replicate and diagnose?  If not, please attach the full log.

Thanks Rob! 

 

Let me attach the log. Because the log file was getting full, I saved an excerpt. However, because the procedure is repetitive, the log should contain the necessary details. Specifically, there are numerous points where the log reads, "The LP presolver found this problem to be infeasible or unbounded".

I will need more information to be able to diagnose this.  Please add the following statements after the SOLVE statement, and then attach the resulting MPSDATA data set to this discussion:

   if _solution_status_='INFEASIBLE_OR_UNBOUNDED' then do;
      save mps mpsdata;
      leave;
   end;
