Further information
1. Control parameters include the settings of Mosel as well as those of any loaded module or package. The location of the parameter may be specified by prefixing its name with the name of the module or package defining it ( e.g. mmxprs.XPRS_verbose). The type of the value must correspond to the type expected by the parameter.
2. This procedure can be applied only to control parameters the value of which can be modified.
3. The name argument must be a constant string: a model parameter, variable or string expression cannot be used as a control parameter name.
4. The following control parameters, supported by Mosel, can be altered with this procedure (see detailed documentation in Chapter Control parameters):

autofinal whether initialisation from blocks are finalizing sets
bimprefix list of bim file prefixes
ioctrl whether the interpreter ignores I/O errors
localedir directory where message catalogs are stored
mathctrl whether the interpreter ignores maths errors
readcnt generate per label counting when executing `initializations from' blocks
realfmt default C printing format for real numbers
recloc activate automatic recording of source location of constraint definitions
txtztol zero tolerance for converting real values to their textual representation
utc whether the time functions return time expressed in local or UTC time
workdir specify the current working directory of the model
zerotol zero tolerance in comparisons between reals
