A long overdue thanks, Gareth! Your code takes my handling of the one-to-many case where the key is copied onto the data almost all the way to a quarterly dated page. The final step is fairly simple :-) Now, I'm wondering about the many-to-one case where the data is instead copied onto the key to ar...

I think that I have the second case sorted with the code that I posted. But the first case still eludes me. In the end I want to create a quarterly dated page with a range from 1993Q1 to 1997Q4 with the series name_a , ..., name_i . The quarterly values for each series is in the four last columns of...

And then loop over the pool name and create the missing series? Something like this: pageload .\test.txt pageunstack name dateid @ value if @isempty(@wlookup("value", "group")) then %crossids = name.@crossids for %crossid {%crossids} copy value value{%crossid} next endif delete n...

I want to import the attached (minimal) text files and unstack them into dated pages with two series: a and b . The text files differ with respect to the value column. The first file (test.txt) has variation in both the name and time dimension (i.e. all unique values), the second (test2.txt) has var...

This seems to handle the second case: mode quiet close @all import(page=key) .\key.txt @freq u 1 %name = @wright(@wlookup("*"), 1) rename {%name} name %name = "name" rename series* key* %keys = @wlookup("key*") %objects = @wdelim( _ @wreplace( _ "vintage year "...

I'm trying to do either a one-to-many or a many-to-one merge of two datasets (attached). The program file where I try to do it is below. mode quiet close @all import(page=key) .\key.txt @freq u 1 %name = @wright(@wlookup("*"), 1) rename {%name} name %name = "name" rename series* ...

Is there some way to read the current log mode? (Though I haven't tried personally, I get the impression that it is possible to be writing to several logs at once, which probably complicates matters.)

Progress? Has the bug been looked into yet?

Indeed. But then once in a while, it doesn’t. And then it’s harder to build something dependable on it.

I want to be able to take a date string specified in the format of current page and then unambiguously convert that string to a date value.

By "machine based", do you mean that it depends on the locale of the machine?

I was thinking date format . On a typical quarterly page, I'd like to get back "YYYY[Q]Q". I have often found code like this %old_date_format = @word( _ "YYYY YYYY YYYY YYYY YYYY YYYY YYYY YYYY YYYY YYYY YYYY " _ + "YYYY[S]S YYYY[Q]Q YYYY[M]MM " _ + "DD/MM/YYYY DD/...

Is it possible to get the date format of the current page? So that I know that @dateval gives me the correct value.

Are the requirements for valid option names (“hasoptions” and “equal options”) the same as for object names?

When I enter shell in the command prompt, I get the following error message: Unable to create process: Katalognamnet är felaktigt. . It translates to "Fault path name". I think that the error code is ERROR_BAD_PATHNAME. It seems to occur when @datapath refers to a nonexistent folder, which...
