Looping GAMS optim model to iterate

Question

I have written a dispatch model in GAMS which optimizes by minimizing system costs. I want to loop runs of the model; Run the optimization, save the output, varying a single parameter(storageCap) -- increasing it by a small fraction each iteration, and running the model again. GDXRRW does not seem to be able to run on R v.3.3.1 -- "Bug In Your Hair".

Answer 1

Are you sure about gdxrrw not working on R 3.3.1? It surely works for me:

(1) Install gdxxrw using install.packages("C:\\GAMS\\win64\\24.7\\gdxrrw\\win3264\\gdxrrw_1.0.0.zip",repos=NULL)

(2) Use a GAMS script like:

set i /i1*i10/;
parameter p(i);
p(i) = uniform(0,1);
display p;
execute_unload "p.gdx",p;
execute '"c:\program files\R\R-3.3.1\bin\Rscript.exe" p.R';

$onecho > p.R
R.version
library(gdxrrw)
p<-rgdx.param("p.gdx","p");
p
$offecho

You will see something like:
