Check if object in a database or workfile or workpage exists
Posted: Fri Feb 13, 2015 3:49 am
Dear Eviews team,
to my kowledge it is not possible to check in a program if an object exists in a database, a distant workfile, or in another workpage than the current one.
The @isobject() function seems to work only in the current page of the current workfile. Thus neither of @isobject("anotherpage\x") or
@isobject("anotherdb::x") works
Suggestion:
Provide a new command that allows for checking the existence of objects in a db or in another workfilepage than the current one or extend the existing functoin command @isobject() correspondingly.
Best,
mamo
