Changing WF pages in Programming

[gio.ortolani]

Hello,

I'd like to write a program that updates graphs in 2 or more existing workfiles pages. I've already searched on EViews Command & Programming, but I've got no clue! Is it possible to do it or do I have to write one program for each workfile?

I'm using EViews 7.1.

Thanks for your help!

I think this should do it for you...

Pageselect

Make the specified page in the default workfile the active page.

Syntax
pageselect pgname

where pgname is the name of a page in the default workfile.

Examples
pageselect page2

changes the active page to PAGE2.

Cross-references
See also wfselect.

Glenn,

thank you so much! It has perfectly worked!

More sophisticated issue, however on the same area.

Is there any posibility for Eviews6 programs to navigate between pages without hard coded page names. I would like to have a program, which gets series name from workfile and creates trendline from x12 seasonal adjustment on different samples, like in following code:

Code: Select all

!forecastPeriods= @obs({%0})
%prefix = "x12_"
FOR !i = 0  TO !forecastPeriods/2
   SMPL @first  @last - !i
   %name  = %prefix + @str(!i)
   {%0}.x12(mode="a", save="d10 d12") {%name}
NEXT



Additionaly i would like to store this bunch of series on a different workfile page. I know the name of destination page, just like that:

Code: Select all

pagecreate(byid, page="x12_seas") @date

Unfortunately i do not know how to come back to the source page. Is there any command which could help me (e.g. transfering page name to string)?

I am working on EVIEWS 6

EDIT: I know i can pass the page name as a 2nd argument of program, still come on it is inconvenient.

Not in EViews 6.
