Unexpected results when a series is copied into another page
Hi, In some cases, unexpected results happen when a series is copied into another page. Suppose you have a monthly or quarterly series containing both historical and forecast values stored in an EViews database. Suppose historical values have been revised (or a month that was a forecast is now histo...

Re: Possible to get defaut database name in a program?
Yes, having a @dbname command would be fine. For online databases, it should probably return the short name (the alias); for databases in the registry, this would be enough to make queries with @wquery, for example. To put some context, the current use is for an add-in that resembles 'fetch', but di...

Possible to get defaut database name in a program?
Hi,
Is it possible to get the name of the defaut database in a program? It would be useful to use the @wquery command with this database in an add-in.
Best regards,
Étienne

Problem when page extended in subroutine with local smpl
Hi, EViews doesn't give the expected result when a pagestruct command to extend a workfile page is executed within a subroutine with local smpl. Try this: wfcreate a 2010 2015 series x = @runif(0, 1) subroutine sub local smpl pagestruct(end=2020) endsub call sub After running this code, the total nu...

Re: Creating a folder
Hi, I have about the same problem since a couple of days. The "shell" command does't work anymore on my computer, though it does on my colleagues' ones, which share the same OS, software versions, privileges, etc. It used to work, I've been using it in a few programs since many months, and...

Re: @elem(ser,j) can not use integer J
Hi,
I've not checked if the documentation is correct, it may not be, but at least you can easily work around this with the @str function.
So,
would work.
Example,
I've not checked if the documentation is correct, it may not be, but at least you can easily work around this with the @str function.
So,
Code: Select all
c(1) = @elem(e,@str(1))
Example,
Code: Select all
for !i = 1 to @obsrange
c(!i) = @elem(e,@str(!i))

wfopen: cannot get the "types=" option to work with xlsx
Hi, I cannot get the correct syntax to use the 'types=' option of the wfopen command when opening an xlsx file, in order to force the type of a series (character, numeric, date, automatic). It always returns a syntax error (invalid format string), though I've tried many syntax variations (quoting or...

The copy command ignores the smpl option with databases
Hi, In EViews 8 (june 13 2013 build), the smpl option in the copy command doesn't work when copying from databases (though it works to copy between pages or between workfiles). It will copy all the entries in the source series, the default behaviour, ignoring the option. I've tried with an EViews da...

Re: Can't enter accented characters with dead key in program
Thanks! I apologize for submitting a fixed bug; I'm not working with the latest version because Help > EViews update is disabled here. I'll try to get the (local) administrator update our EViews copies more often, and to have a better look at fixes in recent patches!
Best regards,

Can't enter accented characters with dead key in programs
Hi, With the April 5 build of EViews 8, I cannot enter an accented character that requires pressing a dead key, such as 'ê' or 'ë' in my case, in a program. For example, with my keyboard layout, writing 'ê' requires pressing '^' (dead key) and then 'e'. But as soon as I press the dead key '^', it pr...

Re: Unexpected substitution when fetching objects containing
Thanks, it leads to a better workaround than making sure control variables names are not part of the names of objects that could be fetched, because the following works: %y = "test" %x = "dsr%yd.q" fetch(d=uscen) %x with no curly braces around %x. In the real world, in my program...

Unexpected substitution when fetching objects containing '%'
Hi, EViews does an unexpected substitution using the fetch or copy commands with series in remote databases containing the '%' symbol (fortunately, such series are not very common), if it contains within it the name of a control variable. Best viewed through an example. The following: %y = "tes...
