The SAS variable in this list, which must be present in the NODEDATA=
data set, contains supply and demand information for the nodes in the NODE list. A positive SUPDEM list variable value denotes that the node named in the NODE list variable can supply s units of flow. A negative SUPDEM list variable value means that this node demands d units of flow. If a SAS variable is not explicitly specified, a SAS variable with the name _SUPDEM_
or _SD_
in the NODEDATA=
data set is used as the SUPDEM variable. If a node is a transshipment node (neither a supply nor a demand node), an observation
associated with this node need not be present in the NODEDATA=
data set. If present, the SUPDEM list variable value must be zero or a missing value. See the section Missing S Supply and Missing D Demand Values for cases when the SUPDEM list variable values can have other values.
