This would be very welcome indeed. There are many brackets in our large model programs and highlighting them would help a lot!

I would like to second this motion. Excellent suggestion that would be very useful.

Hi, The EViews help doc says that when we use the reinclude model proc it generates an add factor for each variable. However, the add factors that are created using reinclude do not appear in the workfile. My hunch tells me that the add-factors do exist, but that they're hidden from view. Q: Can som...

Dear Jean Louis,

Great to see you!

I've sent you an email.

Hi, I'm wondering if it's possible to do a very general database query in EViews? For example, I would like to be able to use @wquery like this: @wquery("mydb", "* matches *Exports* and freq=Q", "name") The key feature of the above code is the first wildcard (*) term in...

[See image 1] To see the important labels, I must scroll down each time and t...

See the attachment below. eviews_protect.png I open a workfile, create a model object, protect it with a password, save the workfile, and close. Then I open the workfile and it g...

Hi Roland, It's subjective to say which interpolation method is the best for converting annual GDP data into quarterly frequency. I'd hazard a guess and say that you'd guess less slack using a method like the Chow-Lin method and a suitable high frequency indicator series (e.g. a production volumes s...

Hi Gareth, startz, Thanks for the replies. I think what I wanted was a way to set the default number of decimal places on the y-axis when creating charts. Actually, I can do this by going to Options then Graphics Defaults then Axes & Scaling then under Data axis set the number of decimal places ...

Hi, I often use the model object for scenario analysis and one chart that I usually create displays the shock variable. For example, the chart below shows house prices as 10% deviation from baseline. However, notice that the y-axis is by default using a very high level of precision / number of digit...

Thanks very much, Gareth! :D

Works a charm!

Hi everyone, I would like to use the import command in an automated way and to do this I need to pass in the string values for the column head names as options. For example, below I pass three strings into the colheadnames option of the import command. colheadnames=("Name","Unit_code&...
