age
Description
Index for age (number of years since installation) into
a parameter shaping curve; default elements 1-200.
all_r all_reg r All internal and external regions.
bd bnd_type lim Index of bound type; subset of lim, having the
internally fixed elements ‘LO’, ‘UP’, ‘FX’.

cg
c
User defined 7 list of all commodities in all regions;
subset of cg.
User defined list of all commodities and commodity
groups in all regions 8 ; each commodity itself is
considered a commodity group; initial elements are the
members of com_type.
Indicator of commodity type; initialized to the
elements DEM (demand), NRG (energy), MAT
(material), ENV (environment), FIN (financial), but
the user can define any list for com_type in
MAPLIST.DEF with the exception of the predefined
elements DEM, ENV, FIN, MAT, NRG.
cur cur User defined list of currency units.
datayear y Years for which model input data are specified.
ie impexp Export/import exchange indicator; internally fixed =
‘EXP’ for exports and ‘IMP’ for imports.
io inout Input/Output indicator for defining whether a
commodity flow enters or leaves a process; internally
fixed = ‘IN’ for enters and ‘OUT’ for leaves.
j
kp
Indicator for elastic demand steps and sequence
number of the shape/multi curves; default elements 1-
50.
Index for “kink” points in ETL formulation; currently
limited to 1-6 {can be extended in .run file by
including SET KP / 1*n /; for n-kink points.
lim lim_type, l, bd Index of limit types; internally fixed = ‘LO’, ‘UP’,
ll
‘FX’ and ‘N’.
p prc User defined list of all processes in all regions 9 .
4 This column contains the names of the indexes as used in this document.
5 For programming reasons, alternative names (aliases) may exist for some indexes. This
information is only relevant for those users who are interested in gaining an understanding of
the underlying GAMS code.
6 This column refers to possible related indexes, e.g. the index c is a subset of the index
cg.
7 VEDA compiles the complete list from the union of the commodities defined in each
region.
8 VEDA complies the complete list from the union of the commodity groups defined in
each region.
9 VEDA complies the complete list from the union of the processes defined in each region.
