Ignored case

Postby paues » Thu Sep 27, 2012 5:07 am

As I have written elsewhere (http://forums.eviews.com/viewtopic.php? ... 688#p20016), the command dbcreate seems to ignore the case provide by the user. The code below creates a file called temp.bnk and not, as asked for, TeMp.BnK.

Code: Select all

dbcreate(type=aremos) c:\TeMp.BnK
I see now that the same applies to other commands, e.g. logsave, which creates the file mylog.rtf and not MyLog.rtf.

Code: Select all

logsave(type=rtf) c:\MyLog.rtf
Is something you might consider fixing?

We'll consider it for the next version.

For future reference: I got the answer elsewhere. The correct way to go about it is to quote the path:

Code: Select all

dbcreate(type=aremos) "c:\TeMp.BnK"
