Really clever, thanks.

Hello,

Is it possible to retrieve the date a file was last saved (without opening it)? I believe this is not the case and it could be quite useful to have a function to that effect.

Regards,

Javier

It is a pity that this functionality is not available. One of the possible uses is when you want to convert the dimensions [date,y-axis] of a chart to virtual pixels in order to assign text to a data point in a chart (say at the peak value of the NASDAQ add a text that says "peak") one can...

OK thanks. When you say the "patch notes had the syntax" which notes do you refer to?

Hello

The latest patch has the command graph.makegroup but what is this supposed to do? Is the help documentation updated with the batch? If so I can't find it.

Thanks,

Javier

Hello,

Is it possible to create a string with the values of an alpha without having to do a loop through the elements of the alpha?

Thanks,

Javier

Thanks Gareth, a loop will do.

Hello,

I have two alpha objects and I want to test whether the elements of one are in the other. Is there any way of doing this?

Thanks,

Javier

Thanks, clever solution. I have series names in a string and wrapping each of them in @nan(,0) becomes complicated (with @wcross), an off-the-shelf solution could be great. Gareth, could you please add a variation of @rsum that carries NAs as zeros?

Javier

Is there a way of summing the row elements of a group of series carrying the NAs as zeros? i.e. not having a NA result in the @rsum when one or more of the series has a NA value.

Thanks

Javier

You can as well store it as a scalar:
smpl if Y<99.2
!pval=@obs(Y)/@obsrange
smpl @all

And I have one question, the manual defines @obs(x[,s]) suggesting that a sample may be defined but
!pval=@obs(Y,"if Y<99.2")/@obsrange doesn't work for me

is there an alternative syntax?

Javier

Thanks!

Hi, I have a series that has NAs for the first, say, 20 periods and then non-na values. How do I "fill" the NAs up to the first non-na value with the first non-na value? If the NAs were located at the end of the series, x=@recode(x=na,x(-1),x) works but I can't manage to work a variation o...

Hello,

Say I try to open a file that is on the web but the address I have is incorrect and this produces an error. However, the error counter @errorcount does not increase. Why is this? How can I account for this error in my counter?

Thanks,

Javier

To add to the list above, would it be possible to allow for saving tables as image files (wmf/emf and the like)?

Thanks,

Javier
