Bad solve option error

Hi there, I need Eviews to solve a model using the stochastic option. In doing so, I would like the solver to go through all repetitions (in my case 1000) even if they fail. Actually, my goal is to check how many repetitions fail out of the total. If I solve the model (in my program is called _mod) manually I can select 100 as "% failed reps before halting". However, if I do this in a program, I cannot use f=1 or f=0.9 because I get the error message "Bad solve option". I tried with f=0.85 and it works. I am attaching the program so you can try to replicate the behavior I experience. The solutions options can be found in the subroutine model_solution, at the end of the script.

Thanks for your help!

Hello,

There are undocumented limits of < 100% failed repetitions via the GUI and < .9 failed repetitions via the command interface. The next patch to EViews will raise those limits to their logical maximum, <= 100% and <= 1.
