Unsupported Source Format

[SamChampanhet]

Hi,

I am working on Eviews 9, trying to import data from an xls spreadsheet. I first did it manually and got the following captured command:
importtbl(name=cty_list) C:\GCM\1215\CTY_LIST.xlsx range=CTY_LIST na="#N/A"importtbl(name=cty_list) C:\GCM\1215\CTY_LIST.xlsx range=CTY_LIST na="#N/A" which worked fine.
I am not trying to run almost the exact same command in a program using the command:
importtbl(name=cty_list) C:\GCM\{%new}\CTY_LIST.xlsx range=CTY_LIST na="#N/A"
but I get the following error message:
"Unsupported source format for import in "IMPORTTBL(NAME=CTY_LIST) C:\GCM\1215\CTY_LIST.XLSX RANGE=CTY_LIST NA="#N/A""."
I tried to run the program to read in an xls file, same error message...

Not sure what I am doing wrong here.
Thanks a lot in advance for your help!

This was a bug introduced by the latest patch (meant to fix path with space problems with IMPORTTBL and IMPORTMAT). It'll be fixed in the next one. In the interim, if you'd like to rollback to the previous version, you can download one of these manually and install it so you can get IMPORTTBL working again.

Thanks a lot for your quick answer! I will do that manually until the next release, no problem!
