Hello,

I have a batch file that runs oplrun -de. I use this command just for the fact that it will produce a .dat data file for me. (My model used the data from Access database.)

"oplrun -de" will first produce the .dat file and then solve the model. What should I do if all I want is just the .dat data file. The model runs 10 minutes or so. I am not interested in the model. just look for the .dat file.

I appreciate your help.

Thanks,
Boon

If all you want to do is generate this .dat, what you can do is write a new .mod with a main in which you generate your model wih the original .mod and the Access database .dat and then on your model you call the method printExternalData

Your new .mod will look like



main {
  var source = new IloOplModelSource("basicmodel.mod");
  var cplex = new IloCplex();
  var def = new IloOplModelDefinition(source);
  var opl = new IloOplModel(def,cplex);
  var data = new IloOplDataSource("basicmodel.dat");
  opl.addDataSource(data);
  opl.generate();
  var f=new IloOplOutputFile("export.dat");
  f.writeln(opl.printExternalData());
  f.close();
}
