del_column

# del_column Remove a column from the lp. unsigned char del_column(lprec *lp, int column); Return Value del_column returns TRUE (1) if the operation was successful. A return value of FALSE (0) indicates an error. An error occurs when column is not between 1 and the number of columns in the lp. Note that row entry mode must be off, else this function also fails. See set_add_rowmode Parameters lp Pointer to previously created lp model. See return value of make_lp, copy_lp, read_lp, read_LP, read_mps, read_freemps, read_MPS, read_freeMPS, read_XLI column The column to delete. Must be between 1 and the number of columns in the lp. Remarks The del_column function deletes a column from the model. The column is effectively deleted, so all columns after this column shift one left. Note that column 0 (the right hand side (RHS)) cannot be deleted. There is always a RHS. Note that if you can also delete multiple columns by a call to resize_lp. Example
    #include <stdio.h>
    #include <stdlib.h>
    #include "lp_lib.h"

    int main(void)
    {
      lprec *lp;

      /* Create a new LP model */
      lp = make_lp(1, 1);
      if(lp == NULL) {
        fprintf(stderr, "Unable to create new LP model\n");
        return(1);
      }

      del_column(lp, 1);

      delete_lp(lp);
      return(0);
    }
