simple question on stom and @convert

[pcruzd]

Hi, Im using the stom command in a loop and I can't make the formed matrix not to prompt in every loop its generated, even if the program is running quiet mode. I tryied using @convert as an alternative but it keeps happening. Any hints?

PD. im using Eviews 9

What do you mean by "not to prompt in every loop its generated"? A program such as the follow has no prompting.

Code: Select all

create u 10
for !i=1 to 5
   series x!i=nrnd
   stom(x!i, y!i)
next

by prompting I mean a window with the newly created matrix pops-up in every loop. I thought that it shouldn't by happenign but it does. The program is very similar to the one you wrote

Does it happen with my program?

[pcruzd]

It didn't. It turns out its not the stom comand which is causing the window to prompt but the matrix.cov comand that follows in the loop. Is there any way to mute it? Check the program below:

Code: Select all

create u 10
group gr
for !i=1 to 5
   series x!i=nrnd
   gr.add x!i
   stom(x!i, y!i)
next

stom(gr, mat)
mat.cov(out=s) ' HERE IS THE PROBLEM

Code: Select all

do mat.cov(out=s)

It worked perfect, thanks!
