The How To 'Read and Write CSV Files' has been updated.




CSV files are a de facto standard for communication of data. AIMMS provides the libraries
code:
DataLink
and
code:
CSVProvider
in order to serialize CSV files.
This article shows an example of how to read data from a CSV file.

Hi,

I’m new to AIMMS and I’m trying to read multiple csv files with the file name dynamically updates.

I created a procedure as follows:

Empty data_declarations ;

SetElementAdd(S_datatable, EP_datatable, SP_filename);

dl::DataTables := S_datatable ;

DataMap(dl::dt,dl::idn,dl::cn,dl::dn) := data {
( S_datatable, sLocs, 1, 1 ) : "location",
( S_datatable, sProd, 2, 2 ) : "product",
( S_datatable, pDem , 3, 0 ) : "demand",
( S_datatable, spCmt, 4, 0 ) : "comment"
};
dl::RemoveDataSourceMapping("TheMapping");
dl::AddDataSourceMapping("TheMapping", DataMap, dl::DependEmpty, dl::TableAttributesEmpty, dl::ColAttributeEmpty);

spCommunicationAttributes :=
{ 'DataProvider' : csvprov::DataLink ,
'ContainsHeaders' : "yes"
! Note that Separator attribute is left to its default of ",".
};

dl::DataRead("komma", ! reading from data source "komma" - because we use csvprovider this data source is a folder.
"TheMapping" , ! using relation "TheMapping" between folder komma and AIMMS identifiers.
spCommunicationAttributes); ! Technicalities on how to communicate.

Also I created a set and string parameter as instructed by tutorial.
 

Set S_datatable {
SubsetOf: dl::DataTables;
Parameter: EP_datatable;
}

StringParameter SP_filename;

But when I run the procedure, it gives me the following error:

The element S_datatable is not in the range set of the running index dt.

 

Can you please help resolve this issue.

 

Thanks

Replace s_datatable with EP_datatable in your DataMap statement. You added EP_datatable as a new element to the set S_datatable, and assigned S_datatable to the set dl::DataTables. In the DataMap statement, dl::dt refers to an index/element in the set dl::DataTables, so when you provide S_datatable to that argument - you are referring to the entire set itself and not an index/element in the set. 

 

DataMap(dl::dt,dl::idn,dl::cn,dl::dn) :=  data {

    ( S_datatable, sLocs, 1, 1 ) : "location",

    ( S_datatable, sProd, 2, 2 ) : "product",

    ( S_datatable, pDem , 3, 0 ) : "demand", 

    ( S_datatable, spCmt, 4, 0 ) : "comment"

};

to

DataMap(dl::dt,dl::idn,dl::cn,dl::dn) :=  data {

    ( EP_datatable, sLocs, 1, 1 ) : "location",

    ( EP_datatable, sProd, 2, 2 ) : "product",

    ( EP_datatable, pDem , 3, 0 ) : "demand", 

    ( EP_datatable, spCmt, 4, 0 ) : "comment"

};
