Command capture sometimes captures incorrect syntax

[CharlieEVIEWS]

See subject. E.g adding legend:

Code: Select all

amountandfreq_bar.setelem(1) "legend(Amount To Supplier)" amountandfreq_bar.setelem(2) "legend(# Payments to Supplier)"

should naturally be:

Code: Select all

amountandfreq_bar.setelem(1) legend("Amount To Supplier (Left)") amountandfreq_bar.setelem(2) legend("# Payments to Supplier(Right)")

and:

Code: Select all

amountandfreq_bar.axis(l) prefix='£'

should be:

Code: Select all

amountandfreq_bar.axis(l) format(prefix="£")

Have noticed a couple of other small things here and there too.

Please let us know whenever you spot one - they're usually pretty trivial to fix once we know about them!

[EViews Jason]

I am not seeing the described behavior for #1. I see

Code: Select all

amountandfreq_bar.setelem(1) legend(Amount To Supplier)

which correct. What is the build date of your EViews copy (help->about EViews)?

#2 will be fixed in the next patch

[CharlieEVIEWS]

Sorry Jason - just seen this.

I found another one: When attempting to write an equation to disk, CC gives me:

{%equation}.save(options)

when entered into the command line it says "save is not a valid view".

[EViews Gareth]

What does "write an equation to disk" mean?

[CharlieEVIEWS]

Object --> View object --> Save table to disk.

Works fine from the menu, but just spits out the wrong capture.

[EViews Gareth]

Ah, right. There is no way to do that via command, so we should probably just disable it from all objects other than table objects.

[CharlieEVIEWS]

Yeah -- I just ended up freezing the equation and .saving it out.

Capturing sorting on an <alpha_name> gives you

Code: Select all

<alpha_name>.sort

when it should be:

Code: Select all

sort <alpha_name>
