For the dense input format, the RHS statement identifies variables in the problem data set that contain the right-hand-side
constants of the linear program. Only numeric variables can be specified. If more than one variable is included in the RHS
statement, the LP procedure assumes that problems for several linear programs are defined in the problem data set. A new linear
program is defined for each variable in the RHS list. If the RHS statement is omitted, the procedure assumes that a variable
named _RHS_
contains the right-hand-side constants.
For the sparse input format, the RHS statement gives the names of one or more columns in the problem data set that are to
be considered as right-hand-side constants. If the RHS statement is omitted, then the LP procedure assumes that the column
named _RHS_
or columns with the 'RHS' keyword in the problem data set contain the right-hand-side constants. See the section Sparse Data Input Format for further discussion.
As default, the LP procedure assumes that the RHS constant is a zero vector for the dense and sparse input formats.
