Re: CD to path in string

That doesn't work for me unfortunately. I'm on Eviews 9.5 Mar 17 build; maybe I need to install the latest patches. Thanks for your help.

Re: CD to path in string

Thanks for your reply, indeed that does change the path easily, however it turns out that as you run the main program, Eviews checks for the existence of the program called by 'include' in the main directory during the compile(?) stage, before it actually executes anything, and crashes as it does no...

Re: CD to path in string

I don't follow. Probably best if I show you the code: %run_path = @runpath cd %run_path [code here] string routine_path = "''" + %run_path + "routines\" + "''" cd {routine_path} include preliminaries.prg Running the above creates the correct path in the string 'routine...

CD to path in string

I would like to have a program register the path from where it is being run, and then save this as a string. This part is straightforward using @runpath and a string variable. However I would like the main program to include subprograms held in a folder within the main path. For example: path for ma...

Multiple paragraphs in @uiprompt

I would like to have @uiprompt display 2 paragraphs, with a space between one and other, for example:

Code: Select all

This is paragraph one (more text here).

This is paragraph two (more text here).


Is is possible to write a string taken as an input by the function which does this?

Thanks

Re: Time varying SVAR

Hi, thanks for this great add-in.

Is it possible to save all the results as series, so that they can be exported? The program which runs the add-in is encrypted, so I cannot modify the code to have Eview save the results as series for example.

Thanks

I figured as much, but then what is the attachment on the tread (viewtopic.php?f=23&t=2130) for?

It looks like a set of commands for either roll, or advroll: (type=2, start=..., etc)

Roll addin ADVROLL

I have some code which makes use of the (simple) rolling regression addin, and it works great. I've been trying to use the advanced rolling window addin, but despite the fact that I set the 'type' (=2, anchored at start), and the list of coefficients which are allowed to vary, it still prompts me wi...

Missing paper reference

Hi

I believe in chapter 18 of the User Guide II the full reference to the Sims and Zha 1998 paper, which is mentioned a number of times, is missing.

FYI

Re: VAR, Monte Carlo, Fan Charts

That's a lot of work. Better to list what you need to do in steps, though you should regularly consult your supervisor if you've never done this before, or at least follow the literature. If I understand your query you want to: 1. Create projections for debt using the dynamics of a single equation, ...
