Yup, that was it -- my sample had exactly 100 observations. Thanks for your help!

Is there a limit to the number of equations you can add to a system? I get a " near singular matrix" error when I try to estimate a system using SUR and more than 100 equations.

Anyone know the answer to this?

Is there a built-in command or option to restrict the coefficients in a PDL to sum to one? I couldn't find anything in the command ref and it would be great to avoid doing it manually! Thanks in advance for your help.

Is it possible to register a database from a program or the command line?

Hi there, I'm running into a problem with the pageselect command when working in the EViews 9 command line. If I have a series (or a graph or group object) open in the current page and I try to pageselect a different page in the workfile, nothing happens. This doesn't seem to be a problem if the sam...

April 27th. It works when the sample is set to 2002m12 2002m12?

My apologies, the problem in the example program was indeed caused by a zero value in ser2. I'm giving up on example programs; attached is the workfile that I'm actually having problems with. If I do this: smpl 2002m12 2002m12 core_capnet.forecast temp I get this: "Attempt to raise a negative n...

I just ran the program and the same thing happened when 1999Q4 was equal to 17.

I'm running into a problem when trying to fit an equation that is specified with @pc or @pca. When I try using the fit command when the sample set to a single quarter or month, I get an error saying there's an overflow in the equation. Attached is a program that illustrates the problem (sometimes yo...

Also, this isn't causing any major problems for us - I just thought I'd mention it cause I noticed it.

This is 64-bit EViews 9. I've tried a bunch of databases that were created between now and 2011 and none of them work. We've kept up-to-date on versions, so that includes at least 7-9?

Yup, that gives the same error.

All edbs, 100% of the time. I've tried it out on a bunch of machines running 9 and the same thing happens. It looks like dragging and dropping an edb into EViews if it's already running works though.

That works, as does dbopen in the command line or a program. It's just opening edbs from windows explorer that causes problems.
