# problem.setdefaultcontrol

Purpose
This subroutine is deprecated and will be removed in a future release. Use problem.setDefaultControl instead.

Synopsis
`problem.setdefaultcontrol(control)`
Argument

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

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