    GAMMA 3 is a sophisticated and powerful matrix generator and report writer designed to provide speed and accuracy in handling specialized matrix formats, extraction of data from analyzed solution, and producing useful and understandable reports.    With GAMMA 3, the user also has the capability to prepare reports comparing multiple solutions.    All details of the interface between GAMMA 3 and the FMPS are handled internally and automatically.    The operation of GAMMA 3 is in three phases.
    The data definition phase   provides for the collection, manipulation, and maintenance of data in the form of lists and data tables.   Multifile maintenance capability and display facilities can be used to handle user-prepared data files. Extensive computation capability and conditional logic are included.    Built-in error checking is available through such techniques as the use of the empty condition of data cells which have never been loaded.
    Problem  formulation phase  provides for automatic interfacing of data files and generation of problem structures.    Extended capabilities such as bounding and ranging, and separable programming are supported as are multiple RHS, cost rows, bounds, and ranges.  This phase can prepare either a full matrix or revise set input.
