$title Simple Connect Example with CSV files (CONNECT03,SEQ=146) $onText This problem finds a least cost shipping schedule that meets requirements at markets and supplies at factories. GAMS Connect is used to read and write CSV files. Note: In this example, the CSV data can also be read by using a simple table statement without doing further preprocessing. Dantzig, G B, Chapter 3.3. In Linear Programming and Extensions. Princeton University Press, Princeton, New Jersey, 1963. This formulation is described in detail in: Rosenthal, R E, Chapter 2: A GAMS Tutorial. In GAMS: A User's Guide. The Scientific Press, Redwood City, California, 1988.
