eviews output? Where is it?

I'm trying to get the p-value from my f-statistic.
I ran the command: !pval = @qfdist(.0319,3,1226) and eviews at the bottom left says !pval successfully computed
Where does the result go? I need what it computed

It is stored in the program variable !pval.
Program variables disappear once the program has run.
If you want something permanent, use a scalar object instead

I tried scalar pvalue=!pval=..... but that says !pval not defined now

Did you define it in your program?

Hello,
The syntax "pvalue = !pval = @qfdist(.0319,3,1226)" tests whether !pval is equal to @qfdist(.0319,3,1226) and assigns that true/false result to pvalue, it does not assign the value returned by @qfdist to both !pval and pvalue. It sounds like "pvalue = @qfdist(.0319,3,1226)" is what you want.
