EViews.com

I'm using Eviews9, latest build.

I'm able to copy and paste a Eviews program from a Linux server (using Samba) into Eviews which is running on my desktop pc. When I try to save the program I'm getting the follwing error in an error message popup.

Unable to open file \\sas\pm\econ\hpfm\v3.1\2015q2\2015q2 hpfm v3.1.prg.

This worked fine in older versions of Eviews.

I've tried various ways to reproduce your issue but I haven't been able to yet.

Is the copy/paste operation from your Linux server required to reproduce the error? If you copy and paste the program code from notepad, do you experience the same issue? Do you get an error if you try to save it locally?

Locally it will save fine just fine. What I've been doing is saving the program to my desktop and then copy paste it to Linux.

Really weird, when I do a save as opens up the correct directory, it just won't save it. Attached are a couple of screenshots.

Is it possible that the network administrator is preventing EViews from writing files to that location?

Are you able to open a file from that directory from within EViews?

No, he said he can save the file locally, then copy it to the right location...

Yes, i can open a file from Linux from within Eviews.

Try saving to the linux server but remove the spaces from the file name. Does that work?

Tried that. No it doesn't work.
