Error: "NA found in matrix in"

[Lama]

Dear all,

in my program I get the error ""NA found in matrix in" while trying to execute a for-loop (combined with "if-then-else").

Now I'm stuck: I do not even use a matrix in these operations (just plain series) and I do not understand why NA could be a problem.

I checked, in the series that is tested with an if-then command there are some NA but there are "valid" values, too.

I'd be very grateful if somebody could help me

Yours,

Lama

We'll need more information.

The ideal situation would be for you to post the workfile and the program...

Hi Gareth,

of course you're right.

It seems, as a first impression, your specification of IF statement is incorrect. You should check the following link for an example similar to your case: http://forums.eviews.com/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=799#p2679 Other than that, what you are trying to achieve is still somewhat ambiguous. If possible, please give some more information on the variables and definiton of your problem...

Hi Trubador,

thanks a lot for your hint.

The problem now is fixed: I just forgot to tell EVIEWS which particular element in the series had to be increased. Now the error does not occur anymore.

Sorry for bothering you & thanks again
