uilist, string and wfopen

[eviewsuserforum]

Hi. I wish to open a workfile based on user's selection in a @uilist.
I am having rough time with that.
Can anyone help?

Code: Select all

string country = "uk" @uilist(country, "select a country:", "uk us") if %country = "uk" then %region="europe" endif if %country = "us" then %region="namerica" endif ' I wish to open the following workfiles, alternatively ' g:\eviews\europe\uk\uk.wf1 ' g:\eviews\namerica\us\us.wf1 wfopen g:\models_eviews\{%region}\{%country}\{%country}

Thank you

Your if statements refer to the program variable %country.

Nowhere have you defined the program variable %country - it doesn't exist.

You have defined a workfile string variable called country, but this is not the same thing as %country.

Thank you for the clarification. I could make it work.
