◆ checkDomains()

boolean com.gams.api.GAMSSymbol< T extends GAMSSymbolRecord >.checkDomains ( )

Check all GAMSSymbolRecord instances of the symbol if all their records are within the specified domain of the symbol.

Returns
true if every instance does not contain a domain violation, false otherwise.
Exceptions
GAMSExceptionIf GAMSDatabase instance of this symbol has already been disposed or there is an error checking the domain.

◆ deleteRecord()

boolean com.gams.api.GAMSSymbol< T extends GAMSSymbolRecord >.deleteRecord ( String ...  keys)

Delete record T from GAMSSymbol.

In case GAMSSymbolRecord T has been successfully deleted, the iteration reference will be reseted as it is no longer possible to iterate to the next symbol using using reference of T.

There are a number of methods to obtain several GAMSSymbolRecord instances with the same
underlying data. The behavior of an instance of GAMSSymbolRecord is unspecified if the underlying data has been deleted.

Parameters
keysList of keys. Null string is not a valid key.
Returns
true if deleted successfully, otherwise false
