Hi. I wish to open a workfile based on user's selection in a @uilist.
I am having rough time with that.
Can anyone help?

Code: Select all

string country = "uk"
@uilist(country, "select a country:", "uk us")

if %country = "uk" then %region="europe"  endif
if %country = "us" then %region="namerica"  endif

' I wish to open the following workfiles, alternatively
' g:\eviews\europe\uk\uk.wf1
' g:\eviews\namerica\us\us.wf1
wfopen g:\models_eviews\{%region}\{%country}\{%country}

Thank you

Your if statements refer to the program variable %country.

Nowhere have you defined the program variable %country - it doesn't exist.

You have defined a workfile string variable called country, but this is not the same thing as %country.

Thank you for the clarification. I could make it work.
