Frequently Asked Questions

This section contains answers to frequently asked questions related to input and output formatting, and execution control. It is an attempt to fill the knowledge gap between the user's needs and the description of each input statement. In fact, this manual assumes that the user already knows what statement is required to solve a given problem or to model a given system, so that all it is missing is the details about the syntax. This is typically not true, especially for inexperienced users, whose main problem consists in understanding how to solve a problem, or model a system. Of course an input manual is not the right document to start with but, better than nothing, this section is trying to fill this gap, allowing to approach the manual ``the other way round''.

If one's question is listed below, then it's likely that the answer will point to reading the right sections of the manual.
