Finding DMP Components

In most cases, when you want to communicate with a DMP component in the same solution, you will either know the name of the component or you know there will only be a single component of that type, and you can pass those details directly to dmpinitcomp. But sometimes you may need to use more complex logic for finding the component; for these cases, getdmpcomponents can be used to return a list of all the components in the DMP solution, and you can iterate through them. For example, if you want to initialize an "Xpress Executor" component with a name that ends with "Simulation":

declarations
  comps: list of dmpcomponent
  mycomp: dmpresource
end-declarations

comps := getdmpcomponents
forall (c in comps) do
  if endswith(c.type,"Xpress Executor") and endswith(c.name,"Simulation") then
    dmpinitcomp(mycomp,c)
    if mycomp.status<>DMP_OK then
      writeln('Failed to find component due to error:', mycomp.lasterror)
      exit(1)
    end-if
    break
  end-if
end-do
