Logmode + addin

[w_nawfal]

Hello all

For the past day or so i've noticed that my eviews program has gotten very very slow at running programs and i've started noticing that at the bottom left hand side of my eviews says "Logmode + addin" when any program is run.

does any one know what the "Logmode + addin" is and if it can be turned off so that eviews runs quickly as it did before?

thank you all in advance for your help

Code: Select all

logmode +addin

is a programming command that tells EViews to run the program in add-in mode. This does a number of things such as suppressing certain error message, running in quiet mode etc... It should, generally, make your programs faster rather than slower. I doubt it is the culprit.

Something very weird is going on, though, if that message appears for every program you run, even when they don't have that command in them.

Hi Gareth

indeed - something doesn't pass the smell test here either.

one day everyone started noticing their programs running slowly and this message being displayed on the bottom left hand side of Eviews

for example, we've noticed that for programs with several fetch commands, the program run will be "hang" for a little while and then all the series will appear in the workfile rather than the usual way where the series appear one after the other sequentially.

:O$

thanks very much for the heads up & please let me know if you come accross anything that will help us with this issue.

Hello Gareth ~

I'm still facing a problem with this "logmode+addin" status.

it seems to apply to some programs but not others ~ not sure how Eviews chooses when and when not to go into "logmode+addin"

this issue is problamatic because 1.) programs run slower 2.) eviews no longer provides a running list of errors as it usually does when the "setmaxerrs" command is included in a program.

thank you very much for all the recent help

As I said before, logmode +addin will only apply to programs that have that command in them (or the parent program that called them contained it).

oh - i didn't know this was possible.

that's good to know - i'll dig a little mroe and see which programme is causing this opition to activate.

thanks
