13.1. MPS FILE STRUCTURE 281
[vname1] [cname1] [value1] [cname2] [value2]
where the requirements for each field are as follows:
Field Starting Maximum Re- Description
position width quired
[vname1] 5 8 Yes Variable name
[cname1] 15 8 Yes Constraint name
[value1] 25 12 Yes Numerical value
[cname2] 40 8 No Constraint name
[value2] 50 12 No Numerical value
Hence, a record specifies one or two elements a ij of A using the principle that [vname1] and [cname1]
determines j and i respectively. Please note that [cname1] must be a constraint name specified in
the ROWS section. Finally, [value1] denotes the numerical value of a ij . Another optional element
is specified by [cname2], and [value2] for the variable specified by [vname1]. Some important
comments are:
• All elements belonging to one variable must be grouped together.
• Zero elements of A should not be specified.
• At least one element for each variable should be specified.
13.1.7 RHS (optional)
A record in this section has the format
[name] [cname1] [value1] [cname2] [value2]
where the requirements for each field are as follows:
Field Starting Maximum Re- Description
position width quired
[name] 5 8 Yes Name of the RHS vector
[cname1] 15 8 Yes Constraint name
[value1] 25 12 Yes Numerical value
[cname2] 40 8 No Constraint name
[value2] 50 12 No Numerical value
The interpretation of a record is that [name] is the name of the RHS vector to be specified. In general,
several vectors can be specified. [cname1] denotes a constraint name previously specified in the ROWS
section. Now, assume that this name has been assigned to the i th constraint and v 1 denotes the value
specified by [value1], then the interpretation of v 1 is:
