Loop terminated early by gams in a NLP model

When running a statistical regression model run in GAMS where I loop through approx 250 different regression equations using a NLP in IPOPT, I am experiencing the following termination error messages and the model does not complete its run. I have tried numerous nlp solvers and I continue to end up in the same situation. I have tried putting in a system pause between loops and an increase in workfactor, but none of these proved effective. Additionally the termination loop is not consistent, anywhere from 45 - 215 loops. Also, I have the same model running in Stata and this was a quick fix as I have yet to figure out how to get the hand off between the two systems working.

when using IPOPT
— LOOPS Scenario = 214
— 73 rows 111 columns 265 non-zeroes
— 240 nl-code 48 nl-non-zeroes
— StatCalcFinal.gms(4658787) 398 Mb
— Executing IPOPT: elapsed 0:12:37.710*** Error: Unexpected GAMSCMEX return code: 255
Exit code = 407


When using Couenne
— Executing COUENNE: elapsed 0:12:39.420*** Error: Unexpected GAMSCMEX return code: -1073741819
Exit code = 407

John,

I assume you are running your model with solvelink=5. If that is not the case than GAMS itself seems to have a serious problem. In case of solvelink=5 Ipopt and Couenne have a serious problem and because of the tight connection to GAMS (solvelink=5), the entire GAMS run fails. With solvelink=2 you could recover inside GAMS, but that still does not address the problem with the NLP solver. Couenne is based somewhat on Ipopt, so I guess the problem lies in Ipopt. It would be great if we (at GAMS) can reproduce this to get to the bottom of the Ipopt issue.

Best,
Michael
