Usage Note 19427: Basic variable violates the non-negativity boundary constraint in the optimal solution
 |  |  |  |  |
PROC LP may report optimality upon termination when a basic variable slightly violates the non-negativity boundary constraint in the resulting solution.
To circumvent this problem, adjust the bound expansion value with the BEPSILON= option on the PROC LP statement. BEPSILON is an experimental option and is documented as follows:
BEPSILON=e specifies a number between 0 and 1.0e-6. The BEPSILON= option is used to specify a bound expansion value to which primal feasibility can be violated to overcome cycling and other numerical issues. The default value is machine epsilon.
