Initializing help system before first use

# Control parameters

This chapter documents all control parameters that are defined by the Mosel language—some Mosel modules also define parameters, these are documented under the corresponding module. Parameter values can be retrieved via the subroutine getparam and unless marked as read-only, new parameter values can be specified via setparam. The subroutines getparam and setparam are case insensitive with respect to their parameter name argument. Alternatively, the subroutines getdsoparam and setdsoparam can also be used for accessing parameters of the Mosel language.

The value of a parameter is computed at run time, except for the special case of parser parameters. These parameters are evaluated as soon as they are parsed during model compilation.

autofinal | Whether initializations from blocks finalize sets.
bimprefix | List of bim file prefixes.
ioctrl | Whether the interpreter ignores I/O errors.
iostatus | Status of the last I/O operation.
lang | Current language selection.
localedir | Directory where message catalogs are stored.
mathctrl | Whether the interpreter ignores maths errors.
model_version | Version of the model as given by the version directive.
modelname | Internal unique name of the model being executed.
modelnumber | Order number of the model being executed.
nbread | Number of items read.
parser_date | Current local date.
parser_file | Current source file name.
parser_line | Number of the line being parsed.
parser_time | Current local time.
parser_UTCdate | Current UTC date.
parser_UTCtime | Current UTC time.
parser_version | Mosel version.
readcnt | Generate per label counting for initializations from.
realfmt | Default C printing format for real numbers.
recloc | Whether to record source location of constraints definitions.
restrict | Active restrictions.
runparams | Parameter string used for the current execution.
sharingstatus | Sharing status of the model.
tmpdir | The Mosel temporary directory.
txtztol | Whether to apply zero tolerance for textual representation.
utc | Whether to use local or UTC time.
workdir | Specify the current working directory of the model.
zerotol | Zero tolerance in comparisons between reals.
