EViews 14 spool: command for “Use Display Names in Tree” (not just output)?

[ikarib]

Hi everyone,

I’m working in EViews 14 and trying to fully control spool formatting programmatically, specifically the GUI option:

Use Display Names in Tree

I found that:

Code: Select all

spool_name.options displaynames

does not affect the spool tree. Instead, it only changes how names appear in the spool output/content, while the tree on the left still shows the default object names.

Example:

Code: Select all

spool myspool myspool.append eq1.output myspool.displayname untitled01 "Baseline VAR Results" myspool.options displaynames

Result:

• Output: shows Baseline VAR Results
• Tree: still shows UNTITLED01

Question:
Is there a command-line way in EViews 14 to enable “Use Display Names in Tree” (i.e., change the tree labels, not just the output)?

Or is this setting only available through the GUI and not exposed to the EViews programming interface?

Any insights would be appreciated—this is important for building clean, automated spools for reporting.

Thanks!
