The OPTLP Procedure

PROC OPTLP Macro Variable

The OPTLP procedure defines a macro variable named _OROPTLP_. This variable contains a character string that indicates the status of the OPTLP procedure upon termination. The various terms of the variable are interpreted as follows.

STATUS
indicates the solver status at termination. It can take one of the following values:

OK
procedure terminated normally
SYNTAX_ERROR
incorrect use of syntax
DATA_ERROR
inconsistent input data
OUT_OF_MEMORY
insufficient memory allocated to the procedure
IO_ERROR
problem in reading or writing of data
ERROR
status that cannot be classified into any of the preceding categories

SOLUTION_STATUS
indicates the solution status at termination. It can take one of the following values:

OPTIMAL
solution is optimal
CONDITIONAL_OPTIMAL
solution is optimal, but some infeasibilities (primal, dual or bound) exceed tolerances due to scaling or preprocessing
INFEASIBLE
problem is infeasible
UNBOUNDED
problem is unbounded
INFEASIBLE_OR_UNBOUNDED
problem is infeasible or unbounded
ITERATION_LIMIT_REACHED
maximum allowable iterations reached
TIME_LIMIT_REACHED
maximum time limit reached
FAILED
solver failed to converge, possibly due to numerical issues

OBJECTIVE
indicates the objective value obtained by the solver at termination.

PRIMAL_INFEASIBILITY
indicates the maximum (absolute) violation of the primal constraints by the primal solution.

DUAL_INFEASIBILITY
indicates the maximum (absolute) violation of the dual constraints by the dual solution.

BOUND_INFEASIBILITY
indicates the maximum (absolute) violation of the lower and/or upper bounds by the primal solution.

DUALITY_GAP
indicates the (relative) duality gap. This term appears only if the interior point solver is used.

COMPLEMENTARITY
indicates the (absolute) complementarity. This term appears only if the interior point solver is used.

ITERATIONS
indicates the number of iterations taken to solve the problem.

PRESOLVE_TIME
indicates the time for preprocessing (seconds).

SOLUTION_TIME
indicates the time taken to solve the problem (seconds).

Note: The time reported in PRESOLVE_TIME and SOLUTION_TIME is either CPU time (default) or real time. The type is determined by the TIMETYPE= option.

When SOLUTION_STATUS has a value of OPTIMAL, CONDITIONAL_OPTIMAL, ITERATION_LIMIT_REACHED, or TIME_LIMIT_REACHED, all terms of the _OROPTLP_ macro variable are present; for other values of SOLUTION_STATUS, some terms do not appear.
