I have an relatively large optimization problem involving LP and NLP
needed to be programed. Could anyone give me some insight on how good is
SAS/OR and its LP and NLP procs comparing with some commercial
optimization languages such as LINGO, AMPL, MPL and AIMMS? Are they easy
to use (program)? Are they powerful and fast enough for problems with
over 100,000 constriants?  Should I choose SAS/OR or one of the other
commercial OR languages? Thank you in advance for any input.
