SUMMARY

Some of the Solver macro commands enable or disable screen update by executing an ECHO statement. This statement overrides previous ECHO statements.

Some Solver macro commands enable ECHO. To ensure that screen update is disabled, place ECHO(FALSE) statements after the following Solver macro commands:

   SOLVER.OK()
   SOLVER.ADD()
   SOLVER.CHANGE()
   SOLVER.LOAD()
   SOLVER.DELETE()
   SOLVER.OPTIONS()

Other Solver macro commands disable ECHO(). To ensure screen update is enabled, place ECHO(TRUE) statements after the following Solver macro commands:

   SOLVER.SOLVE()

The SOLVER.SAVE command has no effect on ECHO.
