I realize this is an old post, but I have a related question. When using the /programonly option, is there a way to put log output onto stdout or, if not, is there some other output command to do so?

This should now be fixed in latest 13 & 14 patches dated Feb 6, 2025. Ah, many thanks Steve! Btw, a separate issue with the piece of code sample above is that freeze group_object.sheet will break unpredictably (and without warning from EViews) by not writing out all columns if group_object is t...

Ah, I should have checked. Seems that someone has already reported the same issue: viewtopic.php?t=21881

A simple replication of the issue we're seeing is below: wfcreate q 1990 2030 series A = 1 series B = 2 group ab A B freeze(test) ab.sheet test.save test_data.csv test.save test_data.xlsx The problem, which appears intermittently, is that the XLSX file that EViews generates will have a random number...

Not sure exactly what causes this but flatten applied to a large enough spool will crash EViews. Sample code to reproduce: logmode l wfcreate q 1950 2050 series x = 1 series y = 2 delete(noerr) sp spool sp for !j=1 to 20 delete(noerr) sp{!j} spool sp{!j} for !i = 1 to 50 delete(noerr) g group g x y ...

Will do for those of us on 13 but my team find it convenient to have the file open in Excel to be able to adjust the model specs and other settings between runs so they tend to leave the file open. This has been blocking us from moving on from EViews 12 to 13. I'll see if I can find another way arou...

It is occurring with many different files where we are reading from multiple tabs. I suspect but not 100% sure that it only (or at least more frequently) happens if we simultaneously have the file open in Excel. For context, these are input sheets that we are using to create a large-scale forecast m...

As an additional hint, when we use: %NAMES= @tablenames(%EXCEL_FILE) We will sometimes get back a list with a first entry that is not an excel sheet like below: _XLNM._FILTERDATABASE CONFIG CONTROL DATA MAIN Then when we do: for %N {%NAMES} importtbl(name=%N) %EXCEL_FILE range=%N next The first entr...

Yes, deleting the files when EViews is running could cause a crash. EViews should delete the files itself after 30 days (Options->General Options->File Locations). If you want to manually delete them, doing so when EViews is not open should be fine. Sorry I wasn't clear. We're not manually deleting...

Re "seems it causes a crash", typo. The crash coincides with file deletion.

Hi, We are having an issue when running programs in EViews 13 that read multiple sheets from an Excel workbook. I think this only happens when we also have the file open in Excel. First, we are seeing that multiple tmp files get produced (see screenshot), which appear to be backup copies of the orig...

The log closes when the program is called from an add-in. E.g., my add-in installer program had this command: addin(menu="Run project...", desc="Runs the project.", version="0.1") .\run_project.prg And it's the log for run_project that would close after run_project.prg ...

I have a an add-in program where I want to use a log to track messages and errors: logmode l ... instructions logmsg some stuf ...instructions But when the the program ends (in an error or otherwise) the log window disappears making it impossible to browse through the list of messages. Is there any ...

I have found the @uidialog function quite cumbersome to work with so I came up with a slightly more manageable subroutine. subroutine add_dialog_item(string %DIALOG, string %TYPE, string %IOVAR, string %PROMPT, string %OPTION_LIST, scalar !MAX_EDIT_LENGTH) ' Adds a dialog item to a string dialog spe...

We have some general purpose routines that fetch a user-specified list of variables from a database. Unfortunately some of the variables in the database can have the % character in them, which leads to some undesirable conflicts with program variables: %A = "some unrelated variable" %VAR_T...
