Page reference in group definition can make Eviews break
Posted: Fri Apr 24, 2015 12:48 am
Dear Eviews team,
Eviews version: 8.1, 64 bit, Windows 7
Issue:
References to objects in another page in a group definition create an error message when re-opening the respective workfile.
This seems to happen only if the object referred to is linked to the page hosting the group.
Depending on circumstances - apparently number of and memory space occupied by open objects and workfiles plays a role - Eviews can even break down.
Example:
Best,
