ILOG CPLEX 11.0 Parameters Reference Manual > > About Parameters of CPLEX > Parameter Names

In the parameter table, each parameter has a name (that is, a symbolic constant) to refer to it within a program.

An integer that serves as a reference number for each parameter is shown in the table. That integer reference number corresponds to the value that each symbolic constant represents, as found in the cplex.h header file, but it is strongly recommended that the symbolic constants be used instead of their integer equivalents whenever possible, for the sake of portability to future versions of CPLEX.
