# problem.setdefaultcontrol

Purpose
This subroutine is deprecated and will be removed in a future release. Use problem.setDefaultControl instead.
Sets one control to its default value. Must be called before the problem is read or loaded by problem.readProb and problem.loadproblem.
Synopsis
`problem.setdefaultcontrol(control)`
Argument

control | Name of the control to be set to default.

Example
The following turns off presolve to solve a problem, before resetting the control defaults, reading it and solving it again:

    p.controls.presolve = 0
    p.mipoptimize("")
    p.writeprtsol()
    p.setdefaultcontrol('presolve')
    p.read()
    p.mipoptimize("")
