Performance MIP Interrupt

Units:Yes/No
Default Value:False (0)
Validation Rule:False (0) or True (-1)
Description:If the MIP search can be interrupted by pressing the CTRL-P key combination

When this option is set, the mixed integer programming (MIP) optimizer can be interrupted by pressing the CTRL-P key combination on the console window. Note that it can take several minutes for the interruption to occur. Confirmation is requested before the MIP search is finally terminated:

Finish searching now and accept the current best integer solution?  Yes (y) / No (n)
The search should only be interrupted if an integer solution is available. For example, in the following log an integer solution is available after 110 seconds.
