Hello Meketon !
Could you share your view of how it would be expressed (an ideal model
sample) ?
If you want to talk about it, maybe I'll be interested in implement it !
Can you share a collection of models data to be used as base for the
test/implementation ?
Cheers !

I've always felt that GMPL needed if-then-else, for-loops, 'let' statements and
the ability to re-solve to be a true modeling language. And Andrew has always
disagreed.
Many of the models that I create ultimately are 'iterative' where I need to
take the results of one model and use it to setup another model. To me, that
is also modeling. GMPL doesn't have it.
So often, I use GMPL for an initial model - it is a wonderful language, and I
find it faster to code than alternatives. But then when I 'get it right' I
have to re-code it in PYOMO or PULP or write directly to an 'lp' file within a
Python or C# or other language script.
Having the ability to run, adjust variables, add/take away constraints, re-run
would be extremely useful, and make GMPL more of a one-stop modeling language.

Hello !
Also I've added the break/continue statements here

Again any comment/suggestion is welcome !
Cheers !
Please note that GNU MathProg is a *modeling* language; it is not a
general-purpose programming language. If you need to produce a non-trivial
solution report (since all such-like statements are allowed only on the
post-solving stage), it would be more practical to write the solution to a
temporary file and then process it with a separate program.
