starting from a pre-defined basis is shown in Figure 10. Note that SOLVE should not be used after a BASIS is read in. The "INVERT"-"GO" sequence must be used. The concurrent use of the BASIS feature and the TAPE feature shown in Figure 7 can provide a useful programming strategy. Figure 11 demonstrates that problems can also be batched in a single LCRAND job. BEGIN must appear before starting each new problem. In conclusion, the options available with the LCRAND-RANDQP programs are not extensive, although they do provide the basics that are necessary. It is possible to get solutions and create numerous scenarios in a convenient and efficient manner. In fact, the computational efficiency of LCRAND has been found to be exceptionally good. This coupled with a basically simple input procedure make the LCRAND a valuable tool, despite the limitations on flexibility.
