create pdf with both portrait and landscape pages

In my programs, I often save spools to pdfs. Sometimes they are portrait and sometimes they are landscape. I can't find a way to have it so that some of the pages are portrait and some are landscape. Is there a trick that would allow me to do that?

group command failing when group exists

I have lots of programs that stopped working this week after I installed the last patch v14 december 19 build. The group command is failing when the group already exists. If I delete the group before the command, it works. Screenshot 2024-12-24 141412.png These commands should illustrate the bug on ...

wfsave to Excel or CSV crashing

I have a lot of programs that have lots of exports to Excel. I have always found these commands tended to crash randomly. Sometimes I had to delete the excel file to get it to work but just rebooting would usually get it to run. (see attachment) resdataa_bug.png Lately, I have been replacing all the...

Re: New bug saving spool of charts to pdf

Yes, the patch fixed the bug. I am noticing that the v14 version of eviews is creating a much larger file size. Did it increase the resolution? They look the same to me. For example, my old version 12 had a program that created a pdf files that was 3.5 Meg. It is a 172 page file with 6 line charts p...

Re: New bug saving spool of charts to pdf

Attached is a little program and workfile that should duplicate the problem. I isolated the problem to one particular chart. The chart is supposed to have lines that are solid and dashed even if it is printed in color so it has a line that sets the option to linepat graEQPE{%pfx}.options linepat Whe...

Error on multiple wfsave commands

I have a routine that has a lot of wfsave commands to excel. I have always had trouble with it crashing on these commands but it seems to be worse now, and there is a new error message. Here is the latest one. It doesn't always crash on the same wfsave command. Unable to allocate memory for working ...

Crash when exporting empty group to Excel

I run a big routine every week that involves a lot of exports to excel. I know this should be avoided but evidently there were some instances when it was trying to export empty groups using the wfsave command. It the past, it seemed to do it, exporting only the dates. Earlier this week, I applied th...

Re: Changes to copy command?

Now I am having a different, perhaps related problem with the copy command. What is wrong with this?

copy(o, c=repeats) IFS_New::annual\AUDaTMG_CIF_USD tmpwk1::m\AUDaTMG_CIF_USD

It is getting ignored. No error message.

Instead, now I am storing fetching and that works. Again, am I crazy?

Changes to copy command?

I could be crazy but I feel like I have been having trouble with the copy command in my routines that used to work as expected. Have you guys been doing any work on the copy command in recent updates? This example below was asking a lot of the copy command but I am pretty sure it used to work. It to...

Also, I just noticed that the latest version of the IMF IFS data set seems to be from May with monthly data through March. (Or am I just not seeing the more recent version?) I have been getting their data using their bulk download feature on their website which is updated weekly (on Mondays) and cur...

Re: Error Browsing SDMX IMF, IFS 2021M05

Thanks for your help. Now I am able to get it working but I am still encountering problems. The most significant is that the filters to narrow down on the series tend to get stuck on the second or third filter. This screen capture shows a session where you can see that not all of the filters are wor...

I tried what you suggested and am still getting the same error message. I moved the tmp folder, then deleted it, then uninstalled, then deleted it again. The uninstall seemed to delete the Eviews folder in the program files folder so there was nothing to erase. Then I reinstalled and got the same er...

EViews32Com.exe Entry Point Not Found in seats.dll

I started having trouble with the x13 command. I think it works but I was trying to use a stored spec file and when I did that, it seemed to be running fine (the .out and .d11 files are fine), but the seasonally adjusted data was all NA when it was imported back to the eviews workfile. I need to fig...
