Procedure CaseNew(None)

CaseNew

The procedure CaseNew starts a new case. The procedure is similar to the command New Case from the Data menu. The procedure does not change any of the current data, it only assures that there is no longer a current case. If you did have a current case and the data of this case has been changed, then AIMMS will ask whether or not this case should be saved first.

CaseNew

Arguments

None

Return Value

The procedure returns 1 on success. If the user cancelled the operation, then the procedure returns 0. If any other error occurs then the procedure returns \(-1\) and CurrentErrorMessage will contain a proper error message.

Note

• If the option Data_Management_style is set to disk_files_and_folders, please use the function CaseCommandNew instead.

• This function is only applicable if the project option Data_Management_style is set to Single_Data_Manager_file.

• If you use CaseNew, then the name of this new case is not specified until you save the case. If you want to start a new named case, then you can use the following piece of code:

if ( CaseGetChangedStatus ) then
    if ( CaseSave = 0 ) then
        return ;
    endif ;
endif ;
if ( CaseSelectNew( a_case ) ) then
    CaseSetCurrent( a_case );
    CaseSetChangedStatus( a_case, 1 );
endif ;
