To do matrix multiplications, transposes and inverse other package can be used, as matlab and scilab (the last one is free).
Regarding the use of Scilab, I’ve developed a framework in this tool for data reconcilation and gross error detection ( https://code.google.com/p/dr-ged-benchmarks/ ), where > you can find the implementations and behchmark test problems.
I know this is not a Scilab forum, but I’m suggesting this tool since I’ve tried to use Gams in the past and found Matlab/Scilab more helpfull.
I had some terriable experience rewrote in GAMS some reonciliation code written in matlab.
matrix multiplications utillities in GMAS does sucks … sometimes I have to unload GAMS 2D parameter into gdx file and call lapack myself.
