Procedure/algorithm for the Cutting stock problem (Kepler conjecture)

[vcxcv]

Hi,

i would like to know how to solve the Cutting stock problem , a kind of Kepler conjecture problem  with SAS.

I don't have any mathematical nor algorithm background, so i'm a bit loss. 

Which procedure (or function, or macro?) can i use? Any (understandable) ressources for helping me?

Thanks  🙂

The following documentation example shows how to approximately solve the problem: https://documentation.sas.com/doc/en/pgmsascdc/v_053/casmopt/casmopt_optmodel_examples05.htm

The following article shows how to exactly solve the problem: https://communities.sas.com/t5/SAS-Communities-Library/Implementing-Column-Generation-using-SAS-Opti...
