Nonlinear Optimization Methods

ODS Table Names

The NLO subsystem assigns a name to each table it creates. You can use these names when using the Output Delivery System (ODS) to select tables and create output data sets. Not all tables are created by all SAS/ETS procedures that use the NLO subsystem. You should check the procedure chapter for more information. The names are listed in Table 5.
