Diagnostic Standardize Names

Units:	Yes/No
Default Value:	False (0)
Validation Rule:	False (0) or True (-1)
Description:	Generic writer will standardize names in LP and SOL files

This option is used with the Generic Writer.

The different solvers use different standards for variable naming. For example, a variable name "Coal Gen", CPLEX will replace the white space with an underscore character. This means that LP files written by one solver may not be read correctly using a different solver (e.g. CPLEX). When this option is enabled the Generic Writer standardizes the constraint and variable names. The following characters are replaced with an underscore character:

• ' '
• '-'
• '/'
• '+'
