Resolved Issues

  • The length transformation factor (FCTLEN) in *INCLUDE_TRANSFORM was not applied since version 2019.1. This issue is now fixed.
  • *PARAMETER or *PARAMETER_EXPRESSION in free format and defined with 9 characters were not read properly. This issue is now fixed.
  • Sets of type COLLECT with parameterized Set ID were losing the ID parametrization when importing the solver deck. This issue is now fixed.
