Syntax-directed report writing in linear programming using ANALYZE

The syntax of a linear program is its rules for composing activities and equations. Since the early years, syntax has been key to generating instances of linear programming models and reporting results. There are times, however, when we want to see information interactively, other than a prepared set of table shells. The syntax can be used to do this with ANALYZE, a computer-assisted analysis system for linear programming. The multi-view architecture has been extended to use syntax-directed rules for creating tables interactively and for some graphics not found in standard languages for reporting results (general) linear programs.
