Hello, The confusion actually originates from the expression @date(lag1), not the @datediff function. "Dynamic" per-observation lags are only available for series (and perhaps some special cases I don't recall at the moment). Instead of raising an error, EViews is just using the first valu...

Hello,

What steps are you following to create the fan charts?

Hello, The value 0.01 is one of the possible fixed starting values used during the control procedure, so it sounds like the procedures is silently failing without any feedback as to why. You appear to be using the control procedure to adjust just a single series, which means you can use the older (p...

Hello, Your understanding appears to be correct. You can use the 'rndseed' command to set the internal state of EViews' random number generators and create reproducible simulations. As an aside, be aware that the order in which equations are specified in the model may still interact with the fixed r...

Hello, Plenty to answer here... 1. If I use linked equation objects in the model, they are automatically loaded in as stochastic objects with specific standard deviation 2. If I use the equation representation which provides substituted coefficients and load in into the model as text, it loads in th...

Hello, You're correct that comparisons with the empty string can be a bit unintuitive (we actually had this discussion 9 years ago 8)). Your basic comparison expression, tab(!i,1) <> "c", is one in which an empty table cell will be treated as a missing value rather than an empty string, an...

Hello, The @rinstr function is behaving as intended. While the @rinstr function performs a right-to-left search for a matching substring, in contrast to @instr's left-to-right search, both functions return a character location for the match, which is numbered left-to-right starting at 1. The search ...

Hello,

You're correct, a severe performance loss issue is present in the stom/stomna commands for the recent versions of EViews. The next patch for EViews 14 will restore the commands' performance.

Hello,

You're correct that the DPI information wasn't being recorded correctly. The next patch to EViews 14 will include a fix for this issue.

Hello,

A fix will be included in the new EViews patch.

Hello,

It's indeed a bug. It'll be fixed in the next patch.

Hello,

Include the "title" option with the save procedure, e.g.,

Hello, Are you storing/viewing the result of @varlist or @subst via an alpha series? Alpha series have a adjustable character limit (Options -> General Options... -> Series and Alphas -> Alpha truncation) that would explain the issue you describe. However, if you simply avoid an alpha series, for ex...

Hello,

You can perform a Lasso regression as a special case using EViews' ENET estimator. The documentation has all the details, but you can easily evaluate multiple lambda values as part of the estimation.

Hello, The setmaxerrs command specifies which error will halt the program, e.g. setmaxerrs 4 stopping at the 4th error, not the number of allowed errors, e.g. setmaxerrs 4 stopping at the 5th error. A difference of only one error, but I understand how the description of setmaxerrs could be ambiguous...
