Changing location for lst files

GAMS
1

Hello,

I want to be able to choose where the lst file is stored that is generated from executing a .gms file. Through searching for help online, I have found the page

https://www.gams.com/mccarlGuide/procdir.htm

but I am having trouble with the syntax.

I realize I also may not even be looking at the right command.

Details on my situation:
have my project files organized in a main folder that contains:

–a folder with one .gms file for each simulation that I run
–a “prep.gms” file that is called at the beginning of a simulation run
–a folder with several .gms files that are each called during a simulation run

I run a simulation using linux terminal by changing directory to the main folder and then calling a simulation .gms file, which then calls other .gms files in the main folder (or subfolder).

I can direct output from the simulation run to a designated folder, but I cannot figure out how to do the same for the lst file generated from a simulation run.

I hope this was clear enough. Thank you for your help!

Hi,

You can use the command line parameter output to do that.

I hope this helps!

Hello,

Perhaps you want to also try the workdir parameter: it might be helpful if you want to redirect many things at once.

https://www.gams.com/44/docs/UG_GamsCall.html#GAMSAOworkdir

For example do:
mkdir foo
( cd foo ; gamslib trnsport )
gams trnsport workdir=foo lo=4
ls foo

HTH,
