@wfindnc - bug?

[tvonbrasch]

Hi

try and run the following code where you open the attached workfile:

close @all
%dir=@runpath
cd %dir'"C:\tvb\articles\labour_services\eviews"

wfopen wfindnc

for !i=570 to 571

%eq=kvartstroll.@line(!i)

if @isobject("test")=1 then
delete test
endif
model test
test.append {%eq}
'generate text file with equations where endogenous variable has already been defined
text problemequations


'TRY TO UNCOMMENT THE FOLLOWING LINE:
scalar a_{!i}_=@wfindnc(kvarts.@endoglist,@trim(test.@endoglist))
'-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

if @wfindnc(kvarts.@endoglist,@trim(test.@endoglist)) = 0 then
kvarts.append {%eq}
else
problemequations.append {%eq}
problemequations.append {!i}
endif

next

This creates a blank textfile problemequations. However, if you comment out the scalar a_{!i}_.... line and rerun the program, the textfile problemequations is filled with some text, for some reason. Do you understand what is causing this?

We shall investigate.

Looks like it is to do with whether the model has been compiled or not - calling @endoglist before compiling isn't going to work very well.

If you modify your code to be:

Code: Select all


for !i=570 to 571

%eq=kvartstroll.@line(!i)

if @isobject("test")=1 then
delete test
endif
model test
test.append {%eq}
'generate text file with equations where endogenous variable has already been defined
text problemequations

kvarts.update
test.update

'TRY TO UNCOMMENT THE FOLLOWING LINE:
'scalar a_{!i}_=@wfindnc(kvarts.@endoglist,@trim(test.@endoglist))
'-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

if @wfindnc(kvarts.@endoglist,@trim(test.@endoglist)) = 0 then
kvarts.append {%eq}
else
problemequations.append {%eq}
problemequations.append {!i}
endif

next


it should work as expected.

Excellent, that worked!
