Spool - apply print mode to child spools option

[CrisisStudent]

Hi all,

the user dialog for saving spool has option "Apply print mode to child spools", but I dont see such option among the procedures options. Is there any?

Thanks,

The mode is used to determine how page breaks are handled. From within EViews there are no page breaks, since the spool window is continuous. As of right now, page breaks can occur when saving and printing.

To which "procedures options" would you also like to add the mode to?

Hi Jason,

thanks for your reply. I understand how this is used - what I am lacking is the same option in programming language as is in GUI. What I need is to prin the spool into PDF such that the subspools are printed in continuous way, but the master spool is new page each object. In GUI I would chose to print each object on new page, but then uncheck the option "Apply print mode to child spools".

I see. I didn't completely understand your request.

We will add a new PDF option to the spool 'save' proc in the next patch. To use the new option, add either applychild to apply the print mode to the child spools or use -applychild to not apply the print mode to the child spool. If neither options are specified, 'apply print mode to child spool' will default to true.

Here are some examples:

Code: Select all

myspool.save(t=pdf, mode=i, applychild) test.pdf  'this is the equivalent of print mode to child spool being checked

or

Code: Select all

myspool.save(t=pdf, mode=c, -applychild) test.pdf  'this is the equivalent of print mode to child spool NOT being checked

Thanks, thats great. Can you just clarify one thing - this affects all versions of Eviews or just the newest one? My firm has Eviews 10 (Nov 2017 build). Thanks!
