Introduction to Optimization

PROC ASSIGN

The assignment problem is a special type of transportation problem, one having supply and demand values of one unit. As with the transportation problem, the cost data for this type of problem are saved in a SAS data set in rectangular form.

The ASSIGN procedure also saves the solution in a SAS data set and defines a macro variable.
