[Help-glpk] Gnu Mathprog: Projection operator?

[Jörg Strebel]

Hello!
 
In my optimization model, I read data from several .csv-files. This looks as follows:
 
table loaddata IN "CSV" "Exp.csv":L<-[LType, App,Time]
table costdata IN "CSV" "disc_data.csv":C<-[Provider,Function, Type]
table ressourcedata IN "CSV" "ress_data.csv":R<-[Provider, Server, Size]
 
now I would like to define my variables x{}; they need to feature the indices Provider,Server,Time and App. As I have seen in the example files, the variable gets to be defined using the control sets from the table statement. Unfortunately, I have no control set that directly matches my variable indices.
 
My first thought was to assemble the variable indices using a projection on my existing control sets   L,C and R, but I cannot find such an operator in GNU Mathprog. Another option would be to create a .csv-file containing the necessary indices, but that seems a bit complicated.
 
1. Is there any way a projection can be realized in Mathprog?
2. What is the best way to define the index set for my variable definition? (e.g. creating another .csv-file?)
 
Thank you!
 
Best regards
