Error during MILP using function INTLINPROG

When I run a program using function INTLINPROG, it appear the following words: " INTLINPROG encountered an internal error that caused the solution to lose integer and/or linear constraint feasibility. We are sorry for the inconvenience. Please contact technical support for assistance with your problem, quoting the code "-2_4". " What is the problem?

Can you post your code (and data) so we can test?
Can you help me? this is my code. I made the same mistake.

You are probably going to need to contact Support on this, as the routine that needs to be debugged is not available as MATLAB source for me to read.

Sometimes this problem occurs if you set nondefault tolerances. But, without seeing your option settings or function call, I have no other suggestions to offer.

Actually even I use the default option settings, the problem still appears (R2016a). I randomly generated hundreds of cases and only one of them had this error. I try to run the program in a different computer and it works fine (R2015b).
I have the same error when I use the R2016a version, but not with the R2014b.

AAbreu, thank you for posting specific code and data. I confirm that what you posted triggers the problem on my system.
Unfortunately the relevant routine that detects the error is pcode'd, so I cannot examine the source to see what it is really checking (and so cannot figure out what the work-around might be.)
I think you are probably going to need to contact Support on this.
Thank you Walter Roberson. I'm going to contact them.
Hi AAbreu, have you received an answer? I am currently struggling with quiet the same problem (also Matlab R2016a).
Same error but using linprog instead of intlinprog (Matlab R2016b)

When I run a program using function INTLINPROG, it appear the following words: " INTLINPROG encountered an internal error that caused the solution to lose integer and/or linear constraint feasibility.

I have the same problem in R2016b. After I tried another version R2019a (with the same code), the problem disappeared.
So my suggestion is: changing the matlab's version.
