BVAR questions

[EmmaNYC]

Hi Gareth

Thank you for an excellent add-in. I am doing some loops of BVAR forecasting over different prior values and samples and encountered the following problems
1. The output window pop up each loop (kind of annoying) and my code halted because of too many popup windows. Is there a way to make it run silently?
2. bvar output objects were generated each round and named bvar, bvar1, bvar2... automatically. Is there a way to append/stack the outputs in 1 object?
3. Using Ko-Ko Minnesota prior, there is an option for h-step ahead forecast. I saw predictive means in the output. My guess is that they are the forecast values, right? Is it possible to extract them or assign a variable name for these values?

All three are not possible with the way the Add-in is currently written. However it would be fairly straight forward to make the modifications yourself.

For example, there is probably a line at the bottom of the add-in that has a show command. Remove that show command and you stop the results of each one from displaying. Change that show command to a print command (and change your printer output to a spool object rather than a printer) and you can put them all into one big object.
