Re: next question - find some element of a set

[Mate Hegyhati]

Hi!

I'm not exactly sure, what you would like to do, but you could just say, 
but maybe this answers your question:

set sports;
param  favorite symbolic in sports;

var train{sports} >=0;

s.t. foobar: train[favorite] >=2;

minimize work: sum{f in sports} train[f];

data;

set sports := running cycling swimming;
param favorite := 'running';

end;


So put ' around the name for a symbolic parameter, and also don't put 
comma between set elements.

I hope this helped. If not, please clarify your situation.

All the best,

Mate
