Exchanging data between GAMS and R

Description

This package implements an interface between GAMS and R. It includes functions to transfer data between GDX (the GAMS data format) and R, a function to call GAMS from within R, query functions for the meta-data in GDX, and other related utilities.

Details

This package contains five classes of functions:

• igdx(...) gives information on the linkage between this package and the GDX library.

• rgdx("gdxfile", ...) and related functions read from GDX

• wgdx("gdxfile", ...) and related functions write to GDX

• gams("gmsfile and args", ...) runs gams with the arguments provided

• gdxInfo("gdxfile", ...) dumps GDX content or returns GDX metadata (list of symbols, etc.)
