In case you think GAMS or the solver fails, please provide us with as much relevant information as possible, such as:
Most of these information are included in the log file (.log):
model_name.log
in your GAMS project directory. Alternatively you may just copy and paste the content of the process window into an e-mail.gams trnsport.gms lo=2
) to redirect the screen output into a log file.
Find below an example of a log file (trnsport.log
):

Please send us that file.
If possible also attach a (zipped) copy of your model and all necessary data files, which will allow us to reproduce the problem. In case there are confidential issues, you may send us a scalar version of your model, click here for instructions about that.
Our e-mail system can handle attachments up to a size of 15MB. If you have to send us larger files please use our file upload facility and send us the name of the uploaded file.
As a security measure to prevent potential viruses, our mail system does not accept executable files (such as files ending in .exe, bat, or cmd), even if they are sent in a zipped (.zip, .tar, .tgz, .taz, .z, .gz) format. Any message of this type sent to us will be bounced back you. Adding an underscore to the file attachment (e.g. file.zip_) will help.
