You can't, or so I believe. I think the best you can do is to define
many constraints within a loop. For example, suppose you had variables
v1-v1000 and you wanted to impose the same constraint on each. A
skeleton could be
forval i = 1/1000 {
constraint `i' v`i' = < whatever>
}
That said, I don't how successful you are likely to be imposing
hundreds of constraints.
