Assigning equation regressors to variables

[mectricsdonk]

Dear Eviews forum,

version: Eviews8

I was wondering if it is possible to assign the regressors of an existing equation to variables in a program?

For example, let equation1 be: y c x1 x2.

In the program I would like to assign x1 and x2 to %regressor1 and %regressor2. I want to make the program more dynamical instead of manually entering all regressors of the equation.

Cheers,

ps: one could argue to just copy and past the regressors in the @uidialog("edit",%regs,"enter regressors"), but this has a limited amount of characters the user can put in. The models I create contain a lot of variables (with proper labelling to be clear of what is what), so this option is not feasible unfortunately.

Found it! I was looking for

!result = @uidialog("edit", %eq, "enter model1")
%vars={%eq}.@varlist

Note that @varlist contains the dependent variable too, so you'll need to lop off the first word.
