Xsave: Xs

Top  Previous  Next

Xsave is an older pre version 21.7  GAMS command line parameter which provides an alternative to Save.  It is used though the syntax

 

Xsave=path\filestem

or

Xs=path\filestem

 

where path may be used or omitted and filestem is the name under which a family of up to nine work files will be saved.  These files follow all the naming characteristics of the save files discussed above.  In terms of composition they contain the same information being still only suitable for internal GAMS use not for user manipulation, but were platform independent but Save now generates such files.

Notes:

Restart senses whether the file it stats up from is a Save type or an Xsave type and thus can read both.
