The following file, example_fix.mps, contains the data from Example 15.1 in the form of a fixed-MPS-format file. The indicator codes MAX and MIN are not available for objective rows in fixed MPS format, so the PROFIT row is specified as type N. Minimization is assumed for type-N rows; for a maximization objective, the objective coefficients must be replaced with values of the opposite sign.

* THIS IS AN EXAMPLE FOR FIXED MPS FORMAT.
