BZ2

CPLEX supports the BZ2 file format.

BZ2 is not a file format specific to CPLEX. Rather, this file extension indicates that a file (possibly in one of the formats that CPLEX reads) has been compressed by BZIP2. This file extension is meaningful to CPLEX only when concatenated with a file extension that is known to CPLEX (such as LP, MPS, or other formats described here). In such a case, CPLEX can automatically uncompress such a file and then read data from the file in one of the formats briefly described here. For example, CPLEX can read a file such as model.lp.bz2, uncompress it, and read the uncompressed data in LP format.
