If they share the same data structure, you can separate the data in one file (sets, parameters, read from text file, etc) include the file and than, the other files that depends on it. I’ve already done it and it worked, for example:
name a file, eg. general.gms in this file put:
$include dataread.gms
*(don’t need to declare the sets or parameters again)
$include a.gms
*(don’t need to declare the sets or parameters again)
$include b.gms
*(don’t need to declare the sets or parameters again)
$include c.gms
And than, run general.gms
If each file has sets and parameters that you don’t want to share, just put a different name in them.

Hi Edson,
thanks for the hint. But using include just includes whatever is in the included file.
As my models are closely related (with minor devitions), they share e.g. sets etc. Thus if I include all files, GAMS returns the error message that sets are already defined.
I am just looking for an automated way to run a couple of GMS files one after the other overnight and not have to start them manually.
In the meantime I found that “$call” could help:
When I just put into an empty GAMS file
$call ‘=gams TESTBATCH1’
$call ‘=gams TESTBATCH2’
and run it, then it takes a while (I don’t see the solve process in the process window as if I start only the file), and after the run is finished, I see at least the *.LST files in the GAMS directory.
Does anyone have experience with it? Is that the right way to do or can something go wrong with it?
And how can I achieve that I also get the *.LOG file produced?

The feature you requested is the “$include filename.gms”, search of INCLUDE
in the manual link and it will show some examples.

Thanks for the handbook.
If I search for “batch” it only finds 6 results, mainly related to xls2gms and mdb2gms batch processing.
Anyone else can help?
My goal again: I have e.g. three GAMS model a.gms, b.gms and c.gms
Can I write a code/batch, that all three models are solved consecutively (e.g. overnight) and the resulting files (.log .lst . lxi) are saved automatically as if I run them one by one? Should be possible… but how?

Dear GAMS community,
I have several GAMS files, which have different run times, if I run them one by one.
I was hopeing to implemet a batch file (as I know from image processing), to let GAMS run the models I listed in the file consecutively.
How can I use the batch processing. What I found by google search was unfortunately not self explanatory.
Thanks a lot and have a great day!
