Command capture sometimes captures incorrect syntax

See subject. E.g adding legend:
Code: Select all
amountandfreq_bar.setelem(1) "legend(Amount To Supplier)"
amountandfreq_bar.setelem(2) "legend(# Payments to Supplier)"
should naturally be:
Code: Select all
amountandfreq_bar.setelem(1) legend("Amount To Supplier (Left)")
amountandfreq_bar.setelem(2) legend("# Payments to Supplier(Right)")
and:
Code: Select all
amountandfreq_bar.axis(l) prefix='£'
should be:
Code: Select all
amountandfreq_bar.axis(l) format(prefix="£")
Have noticed a couple of other small things here and there too.

Please let us know whenever you spot one - they're usually pretty trivial to fix once we know about them!

I am not seeing the described behavior for #1. I see
Code: Select all
amountandfreq_bar.setelem(1) legend(Amount To Supplier) which correct. What is the build date of your EViews copy (help->about EViews)?
#2 will be fixed in the next patch

Sorry Jason - just seen this.
I found another one: When attempting to write an equation to disk, CC gives me:
{%equation}.save(options)
when entered into the command line it says "save is not a valid view".

What does "write an equation to disk" mean?

Object --> View object --> Save table to disk.
Works fine from the menu, but just spits out the wrong capture.

Ah, right. There is no way to do that via command, so we should probably just disable it from all objects other than table objects.

Yeah -- I just ended up freezing the equation and .saving it out.

Capturing sorting on an <alpha_name> gives you
