shell not working

[paues]

When I enter

Code: Select all

shell

in the command prompt, I get the following error message:

Unable to create process: Katalognamnet är
felaktigt.
.

It translates to "Fault path name". I think that the error code is ERROR_BAD_PATHNAME. It seems to occur when @datapath refers to a nonexistent folder, which can occur if the folder is deleted outside of Eviews. If this is the case Eviews tries to start the process with a nonexistent working directory.

Perhaps this should be caught by Eviews and given a less opaque error message. But I'm not entirely sure.
