I have this message:

" Encountered an improper argument "

with a white cross in a red disk.

While saving a file.

But the program keeps working (and the file is saved).

Hello,

For some time now I get the message "EViews has stopped working" almost every two runs of the same program....

It disappeared for a while but is on again.

Hello,
When running a program no log is displayed.
Either it is not created or it is outside the window....

Hello from Paris,
Sorry for the late answer.
Yes, I installed the newest version and it works.....

When I program a graph in this way: graph _gr_{%3}2.line P{%3}_q p{%3}_cap p{%3}_k p{%3}_l p{%3}_ur _gr_{%3}2.setelem(1) lcolor(blue) lwidth(0.25) lpat(1) legend(Value added) symbol(1) .......................................... EViews crashes (EViews 10). If I drop the "symbol" part, using...

Another way of doing it is using a scalar parameter:

scalar p=1
model1.append x=(p=1)*f1+(p=2)*f2

Beware that you have to "update" the model after changing the value.

If you do not want to do this you should define the parameter as a series

generate p=1
model1.append x=(p=1)*f1+(p=2)*f2

Hello again,

This does not appear with the new release....

Hello from Paris, In my opinion, the easiest way of manipulating dummy variables is the following; Create a time trend using the date and adding a fraction to the previous value in case of quarterly data. For quarterly data over a 1980 - 2020 period: smpl 1980q1 1980q1 genr t=1980 smpl 1980q2 2020q4...

Hello from Paris, I have a problem with EViews 9. When I try to SHOW (from the command window) a non-existent variable under EViews 9, the program stops working. Does anybody face this problem? Also, I am just finishing an addition to my book on modeling describing the changes due to EViews 9. There...

Hello from Paris,

I am the author of the "excellent" book.

If you give me more specifics I can give you some general advice.

Best regards,

Hello from Paris, The Exclude command does it. However there is a big problem: the command actually drops the equation from the model (for the associated periods). If the equation is estimated, OK : the behavior is replaced by an exogenous decision. The model has one less variable and one less equat...

A late hello.... Eviews registers as endogenous the FIRST variable in the equation. So D, S and P should appear once, and once only, as the first element. This means this model will not work : D = f(P, x) S= f(P,y) S = D But you can : * Invert the fiirst equation to give P. * Permute one equation, g...

- How to check that your assumptions and equations conform to a steady state path in simulations over the future. You just create assumptions for all endogenous and exogenous using consistent and constant growth rates, according to the dimension of the variable (like 0 for ratios, 2% for quantities,...

How to avoid the "divide by zero" when computing the relative error on a null variable. In the economic domain, no variable is null by chance. The relative variation on a null variable should be considered as zero, but for Eviews any division by zero fails with an annoying and maybe mislea...

You might also use :

model1.append a1 = a_0(-1) - b*c
model1.append a = a1*(a1>=0)
