[Help-glpk] glpsol string parameters

[Grzegorz Nowak]

Hello, I am working on a Dial a ride problem (DARP), and would be very
grateful if somebody could give a hint to, what I am doing wrong.


a little sample of my model looks like this:

------------------------------------------------------------------
set I;
set J;

param matrice {I, J} integer, >= 0;
param kunder {1..1, 1..2};

var x1 integer, >=0;

maximize objekt: x1;

s.t. test: x1 <= matrice[kunder[1,1], kunder[1,2]];

data;

set I := aab tirstrup;
set J := herning silkeborg aarhus skjern kolding;

param matrice (tr):
                                aab    tirstrup:=
        herning  150    100
        silkeborg   120    60
        aarhus   110    25
        skjern   200    150
        kolding  220    125;
        
param kunder:
                1:=
1               aab
2               skjern;


end;
---------------------------------------------------------

This little test worked great with matrice["aab", "skjern"] when
plotted in directly. The problem arose when I tried to implement the
parameter "kunder", which should contain all the customers and their
origin with the value 1 and destination with the value 2. What I
thought would happen is when i call kunder[1,1] I would get origin of
customer 1 = "aab", and kunder[1,2] would get me the destination of
customer 2 = "skjern".

I have tried to fix this with param kunder symbolic in "a set", but I
did not seem to work. I also tried to set " and ' around the string
parameters, but it didn't work either.

While I am at this, is there any explanation for the (tr) I found it
in an online model somewhere, but documentation is pretty sparse on
this area.

Any help is very appreciated or a link where I can find more information.
