Dependencies using commands?

Postby tvonbrasch » Thu Jun 06, 2019 11:23 am

Hi

It is a really nice feature that one can identify dependencies in the model object,

The down dependencies I have managed to find using the SPEC command, however, is there a way to identify the UP-tree using commands, i.e. the endogenous variables that depend on the reference variable? (If not, can you please add this functionality?)

Hello,

There is a pair of undocumented model procedures for returning upwards and downwards dependencies. model.@depends("foo") returns a string containing the variables that "foo" depends on (downward), and model.@upends("foo") returns a string containing the variables that depend on "foo" (upward).

Oh wow, these two model procedures should come in really handy! Thanks for letting us know about them.
