Hello,

Transition from R to Eviews programming has been a little painful, hope someone will help with the following question:

Code: Select all

string xd=deter(!i)

if %xd="trend" then
   %xd="d"
else
   %xd="b"
endif

here deter is a "string vector", its elements are either "trend" or "cons". I ran the code and it appeared to work, but then the results did not appear to be right.

Thank you.

Well, XD and %XD are different things. It looks like you're assigning to XD, but testing %XD.

Thanks Gareth, I corrected it, works flawlessly. I was following an example where "%" is used, just did not read the details properly.
