[Help-glpk] "multiplication of linear forms not allowed"

[Reginald Beardsley]

I'm trying to apply the following constraint following a suggestion by xypron:

var M{J} ,binary;
var B{J,K} ,>= 0;

s.t. a{j}: -M[j]*sum{k in  K}B[j,k] <= A[j] <= M[j]*sum{k in K}B[j,k];

The goal being to force A[j] = 0 if the sum over k of B[j,k] = 0;

glpsol 4.47 exits w/ the message in the subject line.  I found Steglich's post 
of last month, but am having trouble w/ translating the notation in the CMPL 
1.7.0 manual to GMPL.

Is it possible to do this in GMPL?  If so, how?
At the moment, the only option I can see would be to make an initial solution 
w/o the constraint and then recast the problem and solve again.
