[Coin-discuss] MPS format change

[Samik Raychaudhuri]

Hello,
I wanted to change a MPS free format file to MPS fixed format file (by 
possibly make the variable names smaller as that is the only concern in 
free format) by using CoinMpsIO class routines. I saw the documentation 
for readMps and writeMps but didn't see any option to force the writeMps 
method to write in fixed format.
Is there any way to do this?
Just to mention, my reason for doing this is to compare performance of 
Clp with other solvers like glpk and lp_solve. The other two doesn't 
accept MPS free format files.
Thanks and regards,
