Eviews Crash in data import

[jackB]

Hi,

If possible, it would be good if you could look at a bug that causes eviews to crash when import data from excel programmatically.

Using a script to import data from a number of files successively, the following command causes eviews to crash on occasion. the crash only occurs when 2 or more files are being imported (i.e. it will work in a one off import).

import(type=excelxml, c=%freq) %dir range=%shtRng @id {%id}

where the %.. strings carry appropriate values from a table.

This is using Eviews 8.1 with the latest (Apr 2) build but the bug has existed in prior versions.

Let me know if you need more details.

Thanks

Jack

It is probably data dependent. Could you provide the files you're importing?
