Description of Options
Include comments
This option determines whether MPL should place comments in the header of the MPS file that give various statistics about the problem. The default is On.
Make all names uppercase
This option determines whether MPL should uppercase characters the names in the MPS file. The default is Off.
Convert to minimize
This option determines whether the sense of the objective function will be converted to minimize regardless of how the original formulation was set up. This can be useful when creating MPS files for packages that require MIN problems.
Single Column
This option determines whether the MPS file is written with one column of data in the COLUMN section. The default is Off for two columns of data.
SOS reference rows
This option determines whether reference rows can be specified when creating SOS marker records. When this option is set the SETORG entry will be moved to field 4 to make space for the reference row which will be put in field 6.
Use UI bound entries
This option determines whether integer variables will be specified using UI records in the BOUNDS section in the generated MPS file. This is the default.
Use integer markers
This option determines whether integer variables will be specified using integer marker records in the COLUMNS section in the generated MPS file.
Left Margin
This value sets the left margin for the generated input file. The default value is 3.
Left Indent
This value sets the left indent for the generated input file. The default value is 5.
Right Margin
This value sets the right margin for the generated input file. The default value is 72.
Generate MPL Matlab Format
This option determines whether the Matlab file that is written is based on the MPL Matlab input format.
Generate Gurobi Matlab Format
This option determines whether the Matlab file that is written is based on the Gurobi Matlab input format.
