RHS Section (Optional)

The RHS section specifies the right-hand-side value for the rows. Any row unspecified in this section is considered to have an RHS value of . Missing the entire RHS section implies that all RHS values are .

• Indicator record:
  

  Field1	Field2	Field3	Field4	Field5	Field6
  RHS	Blank	Blank	.	Blank	.

• Data record:
  

  Field1	Field2	Field3	Field4	Field5	Field6
  Blank	RHS name	Row name (e.g., rowi)	RHS value for row rowi	Row name (e.g., rowj)	RHS value for row rowj

Notes:

1. The rows that have an RHS element defined in this section need not be specified in the same order in which the rows were specified in the ROWS section. However, a row in the RHS section should be defined in the ROWS section.
2. It is possible to specify multiple RHS vectors, which are labeled by different RHS names. Normally, the first RHS vector encountered in the RHS section is used, and all other RHS vectors are discarded. All the elements of the selected RHS vector must be specified before other RHS vectors are introduced. Within a specific RHS vector, for a given row, duplicate assignments of RHS values are not allowed.
3. An RHS value assigned to the objective row is ignored by PROC OPTLP and PROC OPTMILP, while it is taken as a constant term of the objective function by PROC OPTQP.
4. A missing value in field4 or field6 is ignored. A data record with missing values in both field4 and field6 is ignored.
5. When a sequence of data records have an identical value in field2, you can specify the value in the first occurrence and omit the value by giving a missing value in the other records. If the value in field2 of the first data record in the section is missing, it means the name of the first vector is the missing value.
