i can't get my programs to run in quiet mode---i tried version 8 and version 9

i am running a loop with 10,000 iterations requiring regressions and tables...etc----i don't want all the updates flashing on the screen

it takes forever

what am I doing wrong

thanks

Hard to know what you're doing wrong without knowing what you're doing.

Perhaps you could post the workfile/program and describe how you're making it run quiet.

[russellrobins]

here is the program......i run the program from the Dialog box

thanks for the help

'''''
smpl @first @last
mode quiet
vector (10000) chow_values
rndseed 1
scalar i

FOR i = 1 TO 100
delete eq2 mytab

'series y_stable = 2 + 1.2*market + .8*hml -.5*smb + 2*nrnd

series y_stable2 = 2 + 1.2*market + .8*hml -.5*smb + 2*nrnd

'equation eq1.ls y_stable c market hml smb

equation eq2.ls y_stable2 c market hml smb

eq2.chow 100
freeze(mytab) eq2.chow 100
chow_values(i) = mytab(6,2)

next

Remove the line:

Code: Select all

eq2.chow 100

[russellrobins]

perfect, that worked

thanks

but why would anything show up, if I am running in quiet mode? Just curious

[EViews Gareth]

The command:

Code: Select all

eq2.chow 100

has an implicit show in front of it. Show overrides quiet.

[russellrobins]

very cool

thanks

[russellrobins]

is there anyway of knowing what has the implicit show?

[EViews Gareth]

Not really. Generally anything that only displays results (like the Chow test) will have a show. There is absolutely no reason to perform the Chow test without a freeze statement unless you wanted to see the results, so if you do perform a Chow test without a freeze, EViews will show the results.
