Error addtext to graphs looping over cross sections in panel

[mamo]

Dear Eviews team,
the code below creates the error message

Data based arrows are not permitted in panel workfiles T in "DO_ GRD.ADDTEXT(T) "GROUP "+"D"".

It seems that it is not possible to add text to charts looping over the cross sections in a panel?

Code: Select all

wfcreate a 2000 2015 5
series x=nrnd+10*crossid
alpha csect=@chr(64+crossid)
for %c D A C
   smpl @all if csect=%c
   freeze(mode=overwrite, gr{%c}) x.line
   gr{%c}.addtext(t) "Group "+%c
next


The corresponding error message

Data based arrows are not permitted in panel workfiles L in "DO_ GRD.ADDTEXT(L) "GROUP "+"D"".

pops up when replacing the 2nd but last code line by

Code: Select all

gr{%c}.addtext(l) "Group "+%c

Best,
mamo

Dear Eviews team,
I have upgraded to the September 14 2015 build.
The problem described above exists also with the updated version of EVEIWS 9
Kind regards,

You can do it via the user interface but we will get it fixed for the command line in the next patch

Hello,

seems like this is still a problem!!
I am using the latest version.

The program does run and no longer produces the reported error.

The output however is probably not what the original author wanted. Addtext cannot parse string expressions. I presume the author probably wanted:

Code: Select all

wfcreate a 2000 2015 5
series x=nrnd+10*crossid
alpha csect=@chr(64+crossid)
for %c D A C
   smpl @all if csect=%c
   freeze(mode=overwrite, gr{%c}) x.line
   %s = "Group " + %c
   gr{%c}.addtext(t) %s
next
