Find unused identifiers in your AIMMS project
Applications that are around for a while clearly have value to the organization. However, some identifiers such as sets, parameters, variables, and procedures in that application may no longer be used, because:
-
They were created for analyzing and testing a particular circumstance. Once the circumstance is handled, the corresponding identifiers can be removed.
-
As the application evolves, some functionality may become obsolete.
There are some disadvantages of having obsolete identifiers in the application:
-
It may confuse your successor, as he/she wonders why an obsolete identifier was added.
-
For a defined parameter or set, it may take up a significant amount of memory and thereby also increase the size of cases.
