Converting commands from GUI to command window

[lpennington]

Hello,
I'm new to EViews, so please help. In other applications I have been able to use the windows GUI then switch to a command window and copy the programming lanuage which was created to achive the action. in other words, copy the macro and paste into a sub-routine. How does that work in EViews?
Thanks,
Lani

In essence, it doesn't.

There are a few things where you can see the command that would have done the same thing. Equations, for example, have a Representations view from the View menu, which includes the command that was used to estimate them.

For a VAR of the variables X Y Z and 2 lags, the command reported in the representation window is
LS 1 2 X Y Z @ C
However, running it in the command window doesn't give the expected result.

why?

Ah, I guess you just put

Code: Select all

 LS 1 2 X Y Z @ C


rather than

Code: Select all

VAR.LS 1 2 X Y Z @ C


Where VAR is the name of your VAR object.
