We build up on results already presented, i.e.,where we have considered logic programs with locally stratified negation. The constraint logic programming paradigm significantly extends the logic-programming paradigm by allowing some of the atoms to denote constraints in a suitably chosen constraint domain. By using those constraints it is often possible to get simple and direct formulations of problem solutions.} }
