set_constr_type

# set_constr_type Set the type of a constraint. unsigned char set_constr_type(lprec *lp, int row, int con_type); Return Value set_constr_type returns TRUE (1) if the operation was successful. A return value of FALSE (0) indicates an error. 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 row The row for which the constraint type must be set. Must be between 1 and number of rows in the lp. con_type The type of the constraint. Can by any of the following values:
LE (1) | Less than or equal (<=)
EQ (3) | Equal (=)
GE (2) | Greater than or equal (>=)
FR (0) | Free
Remarks The set_constr_type function sets the constraint type for the specified row. The default constraint type is LE. Note the free (FR) constraint type. This is new from version 5.1.0.1 A free constraint will act as if the constraint is not there. The lower bound is -Infinity and the upper bound is +Infinity. This can be used to temporary disable a constraint without having to delete it from the model. Note that the already set RHS and range on this constraint is overruled with Infinity by this. 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, 0);
      if(lp == NULL) {
        fprintf(stderr, "Unable to create new LP model\n");
        return(1);
      }

      set_constr_type(lp, 1, GE);

      delete_lp(lp);
      return(0);
    }
