WfOpen ASCII file

I am trying to open the attached ASCII file using the command wfopen. However, I cannot figure out what arguments I should provide for EViews not to show the dialog box "Text Read - Step 1 of 1". Is it possible? What I have now is

Code: Select all

wfopen(type=text) AKU_SR_text.txt colhead=1 delim=tab

In a program, or via the command line?

I am looking to use it in a program. But I thought the two equivalent - aren't they? - and have as of yet only tried via the command prompt.

I have now tried the same command (with the argument specified in my first post) in a program. And it gives the desired result. What extra arguments need to be added to achieve the same behavior from the command prompt?

Some (many) commands behave differently when used in the command window compared to in a program, most often with respect to the opening of dialogs. There is no way around it.
