Thanks for this. I believe that their policy has changed. For example, it was the case that once you exceed the monthly limit, you can fetch series that you have already fetched diring the month. This is no longer the case. Also According to their help desk, downloading a time series with 1000 datap...

Hi, Quick question. Does the bloomberg API request (within Eviews) change depending on the sample of my workfile? For example if i have a workfile that only has 10 days (versus 1000 days let's say) , does the start date in the request change to 10 days or does it request all the historical data, and...

Ok so i think i’ve figured it out. The problem was my workaround involved making a subroutine that logged the low level program name and then it executed it. The problem seems to have been the execution inside the sub routine. It’s very strange and i don’t know exactly why this was happening. But ha...

i have logmode(name="logseriessource", ts) logmsg at the top of every program that uses logmsg

I do get the crash every single time though. Even if i stop the program before the logsave, and run that part in the command

Ok thanks. I found a way around it (had to write a subroutine tat executes the programs). How about the crashing issue? Have you seen anybody reporting bugs/crashing while using logsave?

The programs specifically crash on the logsave line. I'm generating a string with all the series that i want to log, then log each series individually in the logmsg. generate the location of where the text file will be saved, then saving it. Here is the code: string serieslist=@wlookup("*xr*&qu...

I would also add that my programs are now very buggy (after using logmsg and logsave).
They seem to freeze in the middle of the logging, and crash (and need to be closed).
If i take out the logging, they run without problems. Not sure why.

So this works except in one circumstance. If i have a 'master' program that runs several other sub programs, then the @runpath and @runname commands give me the info of the master program instead of the sub programs. In other words, i totally missed the part in the link that mentioned 'high-level' p...

Thank you very much!

Hi, I'm trying to play around with APIs directly in eviews. This is my first time, but i looked around at other examples, although they seemed to be out of date (perhaps the syntax has changed since). In any case, it's a simple request like so: https://www.quandl.com/api/v3/datasets/bcb/1/data.csv?a...

Hi, I would like to know if there is a command to get the name (or path) of the program currently being run (for logging purposes, i.e. this series was created in this program). I know how to get the workfile name, path, page names and frequency. I'm positive i can work my way around this but it wou...

Thanks Jason. The link you posted refers to tables (maybe they are similar to graphs). Either way, i would prefer not to manually input a custom date format every time i click view as graph. Is there a way to change this as a default setting? It may just be easier to restore graphic default setting ...

Thanks for the reply. I'm aware of this, but which option would fix this? I assume it would be in the Axes & Scaling and Obs/Date axis. But I've tried with no luck

Hi, I must have changed the default graphic settings without noticing somehow because i get an error message ('error in custom date specification ') when i try to view a series as a graph (see attached photos). Also when i use plot in the command line, the chart shows up but without any axis labels....

Ok. Will send you the workfile (and a more detailed explanation) at some point this week, although i think the issues was with my code for the template.
