proc - addin

[tvonbrasch]

Hi,

the command

Code: Select all

addin(type=global, proc="setpcyaggmultipleyears",  desc="SETPCYAGGMULTIPLEYEARS :  program use setpcyagg command to extend these series to reach the specified annual growth rates over multiple years",docs=".\about_setpcyaggmultipleyears.pdf", version =1.0, nowarn) "./setpcyaggmultipleyears.prg"


has always worked. Now we get the error message:

The code

Code: Select all

addin(type=global, proc="setpcyaggmultipl",  desc="SETPCYAGGMULTIPLEYEARS :  program use setpcyagg command to extend these series to reach the specified annual growth rates over multiple years",docs=".\about_setpcyaggmultipleyears.pdf", version =1.0, nowarn) "./setpcyaggmultipleyears.prg"


seems to work .... Have you introduced a maximum number of characters for the proc-option?

Can you please take a look?

Yes, there is a maximum proc length.

But is this a new restriction that has been added? This addin has worked for at least 1 year already, and now the error message suddenly appeared ...

(btw, thanks for the quick response)

Yes, added in a recent patch

[tvonbrasch]

Okay, thanks for the clarification! Updates that limit the functionality in EViews should come with a warning. Ideally, new updates should not introduce limitations to existing functionality at all ....

again, thanks for the swift reply
