Re: shell/spawn command?

I'm not sure if spawn works that way. For example if you spawn a txt file does notepad open? Instead, try spawning the python exe and pass the py file as a parameter. If you continue to have access is denied issues, try launching EViews with admin rights then try the command again. Also have you see...

Re: how to import a serie from excel into an existing wrokfi

This was a bit tricky to fix as EViews wants to use single quotes for long sheet names in a lot of different places and single quotes are almost ALWAYS considered a comment in an EViews program. Gareth's solution of just using double quotes around the whole range value works, but also looks a bit un...

Re: Unfortunate glitch using wfopen to read Excel files

Ah, I was able to reproduce the problem and I found the issue. It turns out we were telling Excel to suppress all user dialogs while we were using it. I've changed this to only suppress while we are actively reading data, then reverting that setting back to the original value once we're done with th...

Re: Unfortunate glitch using wfopen to read Excel files

This sounds really strange. When Excel has the file open, it locks the file. This means that when EViews tries to read the file, we have to ask Excel via COM for the data. During that procedure we do not tell Excel to save any changes or to ignore any changes upon close. My guess is that this is a p...

Re: Cannot import Excel file into Eviews

Also open the file with Excel and save it with a different name. See if EViews can read the new file.

As more of you have started making use of our EViews COM Automation interface (to control EViews and to send/receive data), I thought I would write a quick post about dealing with a few "gotchas" when releasing a program you wrote for your users that depend on EViews COM. In particular, de...

Re: CSV file import problem

The reason EViews is treating your file as binary is because the CSV file is currently in Unicode (UTF-16 to be exact) format. If you open the CSV file in Notepad, then go to the Save As dialog, you'll see that the Encoding is "Unicode": SaveAs.png EViews doesn't currently handle Unicode f...

Re: Working with files in working memory

Johan: In EViews 9, we changed our code to use a buffered file reader class when opening and saving a workfile. The new class gave us significant improvement over our previous file reader. By default, this is turned on so you should already be using it. For experimentation, we created an undocumente...

Re: slow when saving pages/ doing estimatino

I'd also like to know: 1. How large is your workfile (file size, number of observations, number of series) 2. When you save to the network, is the folder being hosted by a Windows server or something else? Is this a cloud drive? 3. If you save the file locally, then manually copy the file to the net...

It's a problem with how Matlab itself is registered on your system. I would follow these instructions on how to register Matlab:
