Object size limit for XPUT command?

[fbrayton]

Hi:

I am trying to use the XPUT command to pass a relatively large matrix from EViews to R. XPUT works fine with a 700x700 matrix, but when I increase the matrix size to 1200x1200, the R log window indicates "R .... returned an unknown error." Have I exceeded some internal EViews limit? My PC has a lot of memory (8 GB), and in EViews itself I can create matrices at least as large as 10,000x10,000.

Thanks

I guess I should have thought about this more carefully. I now see that increasing the advanced system option for "memory reserved for Windows, ..." to its maximum of 1000k enables XPUT works with larger matrices. (But not with a 5000x5000 matrix, which is what I'd really like to use.)
