The PIVOT statement has no options. It indicates that one simplex iteration is to be performed. The PIVOT statement forces a simplex iteration to be performed in spite of the continued presence of any reasons or solution conditions that caused optimization to be halted. For example, if the number of iterations performed exceeds the value of the MAXIT1= or MAXIT2= option and you issue a PIVOT statement, the iteration is performed even though the MAXIT1= or MAXIT2= value has not yet been changed using a RESET statement.
