Display save size

[wjgatt]

I'm trying to export a table to pdf format (which works), however if I try to resize the table to a lower size, the command is not being accepted.

I quote the command and reference guide for Eviews 8, page 55:

"Alternately, the command:
tab1.save(r=B2:C10, t=html, s=.5) c:\data\MyTab2
saves the specified cells in TAB1 as an HTML file to “Mytab2.HTM” in the directory
“c:\data”. The table is saved at half of the display size."

I am getting an error message "Invalid save option" when I set s to a value, say 0.8. This happens irrespective of the type of output I choose for the table, or whether or not I write s=0.8 or s=.8, or any value for that matter. I know this can be done manually from the 'Proc' dropdown menu, but I want to program it.

Many thanks
W

I would make sure your copy of EViews is up to date via help->EViews update.

Secondly the example you mentioned is incorrect (the docs need to be corrected). It should read

Code: Select all

tab1.save(r=B2:C10, t=html, s=50) mytable

The 'save' value should in be whole percent.

When I use type in the command as listed, I get the error "Scale percent must be >5% and ....". It's not clear why you are receiving "Invalid save option". If you can, please post a screenshot of the error.

Thanks for your reply.

The build date in March 28 2013.

See the attached screenshot for the code and the error notification.

Thanks

Please update to the latest version.

Just found the update logs; apparently the bug was solved in the July 2013 patch.

Thanks
