Greetings,

Could you comment on how you might best specify a dummy for something like, 2006Q2 - 2009Q3 ?


Thanks,

I've written some more stand alone code that recreates the dialog box error I first mentioned, and I'm not sure what is causing it. ' Create a figure to be used as template source create u 100 series a = rnd series b = rnd + 25 group mydata a b graph template_source.line a b template_source.setelem(...

My workfile does have both graph objects existing before the code is run. The first figure gets deleted prior to when the above mentioned line of code is run, while the other figure remains untouched so that it can be used as a template source. This code has worked fine so far for years using versio...

Greetings, I have a program I wrote in Eviews 6 which works fine. I have just installed Eviews 7.1, and now when I run the program it creates an error message. The line of code in question tries to apply the template from one graph to another graph, like so: figure_data_use.template(t) _figure_data_...

Greetings, I am having trouble with the following for loop. I would like to make every 12th observation equal to a certain number: create u 500 series myvar = 0 for !i = 1 to 30 step 12 series myvar(!i) = 5 next but when I run this code, every single observation, for the whole length of the series, ...

Greetings, I am using a workfile with multiple pages. The program I am writing starts out with some certain page as the active page, but part of my program needs to modify a series on a different page (say, create a lag variable of some certain series on that page). In my code, how can I change what...

Has there ever been any talk of putting this into a future Eviews release? It would be extremely useful.

Greetings, I hope this is not too elementary of a question ... is it possible to write functions in Eviews that directly return some output? For example, can I write some function and then use it on the right hand side of an assignment statement, like mynumber = product(2,3), and get mynumber=6. I a...

Greetings,

Is it possible to specify a landscape orientation when sending output to an rtf file?


I have tried the following, which doesn't seem to work:

output(r) c:\mygraphs
print(l) figure1


Thanks in advance,

Works perfectly, thanks very much!

Greetings, In my workfile I have a graph already made (a line graph of several variables in a group), and would like to create a new graph (a line graph of the same variables in the group) using it as a template. However, one feature that exists in the original graph does not seem to be carried over...

I was just looking to see if any of the diagnostics from BKW were in Eviews. As for its usefulness, while collinearity doesn't make it incorrect to perform inference on the slope coefficients, it makes for poor quality results of this inference (eg, very wide confidence intervals). The user who perf...

Hello, I would like to have a for loop where my control variable is used in the name of strings that I define. The documentation mentions how to do this when naming series, but not when defining names for strings. I have tried the following, but get errors: for !i = 1 to 3 %stringname_!i = @right(my...

Thanks startz, that followed up with @elem() does allow me to get the particular string I want.

It would still be nice to see if the original @insert function could be made to work though (thanks Gareth).

Hello, I am trying to use the @insert function, and it seems to generate errors in even the simplest attempt at using it. For example, if I have the line: %mystr = @insert("helo","l",3) then I get the error message %MYSTR is not defined or is an illegal command How should I be us...
