@strnow

I wonder if there's a bug in this function? This test program always displays a time where the hours and seconds are correct, but minutes is always set to "01". I'm using v7.2, 5th Jan 2012 build. for !i = 1 to 1000 %time = "Time no is: "+@strnow("HH:MM:SS") + ". C...

Multi core processors

I have an EViews program I run frequently which takes about 10 minutes to execute. I'm running on a PC with an Intel I5 processor chip which has two cores and supports four threads. When my program is running the cpu is only about 25% utilised, which I presume means that EViews is only using one of ...

Avoiding divide by zero errors

I'm trying to find a way of avoiding errors when dividing one series by another, when the latter series may contain zero values. I would expect the @recode function to be the answer, but if I run this sample program: series x = 2 x(1) = 0 series y = 1 series z = @recode(x=0,na,y/x) I still get a div...

Passing parameters to subroutines

I have a couple of questions related to the handling of parameters that are passed to subroutines. If I run this simple example: subroutine process_workfile (string fname, string sname) %fn = fname wfopen {%fn} %sn = sname endsub call process_workfile ("example.wf1", "example_series&q...
