Hi,

the command

Code: Select all

addin(type=global, proc="setpcyaggmultipleyears", desc="SETPCYAGGMULTIPLEYEARS : program use setpcyagg command to extend these series to reach the specified annual growth rates over multiple years",docs=".\about_setpcyaggmultipleyears.pdf", version =1.0, nowarn) "./setpcyaggmultipleyears.prg"
has always worked. Now we get the error message:

The code

Code: Select all

addin(type=global, proc="setpcyaggmultipl", desc="SETPCYAGGMULTIPLEYEARS : program use setpcyagg command to extend these series to reach the specified annual growth rates over multiple years",docs=".\about_setpcyaggmultipleyears.pdf", version =1.0, nowarn) "./setpcyaggmultipleyears.prg"
seems to work .... Have you introduced a maximum number of characters for the proc-option?

Can you please take a look?

Yes, there is a maximum proc length.

But is this a new restriction that has been added? This addin has worked for at least 1 year already, and now the error message suddenly appeared ...

(btw, thanks for the quick response)

Okay, thanks for the clarification! Updates that limit the functionality in EViews should come with a warning. Ideally, new updates should not introduce limitations to existing functionality at all ....

again, thanks for the swift reply
