[Os-project-managers] OSrL problem

[Horand Gassmann]

Hi guys,

I think we may have a problem with the OSrL schema.

I am trying to write code to put stuff back into AMPL. Ipopt, for  
instance, returns two arrays ipopt_zL_out and ipopt_zU_out that I want  
to return into AMPL. Both arrays are indexed over the variables,and  
they are real valued. Presumably they would be returned in the OSrL  
file as  <other> elements in <variable> (once we implement that), and  
then there is an ASL method that we can put them into.

In OSAmplClient I would therefore go through all the <other> elements  
and pull out the names, which I would treat as suffixes for AMPL, and  
I would call the ASL method to return them.

But there are actually two such methods, suf_iput and suf_rput, for  
integer and for real valued results. The problem is that we do not  
record the type, and so in general I would not know which method to  
use. There ought to be a field "type" in the attribute list of the  
<other> elements. Do you agree?

Cheers
