EViews.com

I have the following problem: I want to specify a variable according to a condition


I want Eviews to assign the value zero to ETA when the denominator of the resulting ratio would be zero, and compute a ratio otherwise.
The problem is that when DCD assumes a zero value, Eviews returns an error message when solving the model (unable to compute due to missing data)

How can this be specified?

Thank you!

Code: Select all

test.append eta = (dcd=0)*0+(dcd<>0)*(2/dcd)
test.append dcd = cd-cd(-1)

Thank you!

Have you tried a @recode?

Thank you, this has fixed the problem!
