Description

This example demonstrates how to read several scalars (i.e. scalar names and
their associated values) for your model from a spreadsheet file, without declaring
and reading every single scalar manually. However, we assume that the scalars
are stored in a listed format (see file exampleData.xlsx sheet indus89Scalars).
All scalar names and their associated values are read as a single parameter over
the domain set consisting of all scalar names first. Afterwards, we use the
Put Writing Facility to write a file 'scalars.gms', containing all scalar
statements in the following form:

   Scalar Scalarname1     /      Scalarvalue1 /;
   Scalar Scalarname2     /      Scalarvalue2 /;
   ...

Finally, 'scalars.gms' is included to the model.
