wfopen "string too long""

[tvonbrasch]

Hi,

when opening a workfile i have been working with for days

close @all
cd "C:\tvb\articles\Norwegian_productivity_puzzle\eviews"
wfopen .\wf\Productivity_database

i got the message "string too long", and I could not open the workfile. what does this error message mean?

now i have recreated the workfile, and it opens as usual, but i have never before got an error message when opening a workfile that i have created.
sincerely

Hi

the error happened again today, when opening the workfile i have been working with yesterday i got the error message:

"String too long in "WFOPEN .\WF\PRODUCTIVITY_DATABASE"


what string is too long? it cannot be the name of the workfile...?

It is so strange because the program could easily open the workfile yesterday.

Now i recreated the workfile Productivity_database and opened it with the command above, and it worked fine. But if I close and reopen Eviews and then try to execute the command, i get the error message "String too long in "WFOPEN .\WF\PRODUCTIVITY_DATABASE"

So something happens when closing and reopening Eviews 8....?
