**Subject: Issue with Solving CGE Model in GAMS: "exit other error" and "solve aborted"**

GAMS

Dear experts,

I am a CGE modelling enthusiast currently working on translating the MINIMAL model developed by the COPS centre into GAMS. While I have successfully replicated the model structure, and it runs correctly using the example dataset provided in the teaching materials, I have encountered some issues when applying my own data.

Specifically, I face two different problems:

  1. When I use my own dataset with 7 sectors, GAMS reports “exit other error”, but the execution status is still normal, and I am able to obtain results.
  2. However, when I use a dataset with 42 sectors, the model aborts during the solve process and no results are produced.

I would greatly appreciate your insights on why these two situations occur, and how I might resolve them. Thank you very much for your time and support!

Best regards.
