It seems that code like
...
var source = new IloOplModelSource(modelName);
var def = new IloOplModelDefinition(source);
...
only can be used in a main {...} block.

If I put it in an execute {...} block then
I got the error:
Element "IloOplModelSource" does not exist in OPL model

Problem is: I would like to put the code in a separate .mod file
and include that model file in my 'main file', like:

include "run-model-infos.mod";

main {
  // real main:
  ...
}

Now, there can be only one "main { ... }" block and thus
no main block in the file "run-model-infos.mod".

So I am stuck on this.
Anyone knows how to solve this?
Why is using a IloOplModelSource not possible in a execute block??

Regards,
Ad.

Hello there,
execute blocks are used to pre-process data and post-process solution for printing. On the other hand main is used for building algorithmic logic. So if you want to manipulate a model element or solve a model you are supposed to do so when you build the algorithmic logic (therefore in a main) not in an execution block.
well, if you could outline why (and what) you want to do something with an opl model in an execution block then I might even be able to help (or maybe say straight that it is not possible).


cheers
