I have had a close look at GAMS:
GAMS 22.8 allows the following values to be specified and output for variables:
.l level
.m marginal (output only)
.lo lower bound
.up upper bound
.scale scale value
.prior priority for discrete variables
.fx shorthand for setting .l,.lo and .up to the same value
For constraints the following can be output:
.l level
.m marginal
.lo lower bound
.up upper bound
.m is the amount by which the objective function would change if the equation
level were moved one unit
.l is the left hand side of the equation
.up is the upper bound for the left hand side of the equation (= right hand
side or +infinity)
.lo is the lower bound for the left hand side of the equation (= right hand
side or -infinity)
(.l - .up) or (.l - .lo) is the solution error of the equation
If GMPL could output marginal costs in post processing these values could be
made available for post processing using the table OUT statement.
