Exec and directory

This is very strange and I can't see what I'm doing wrong.
The code
Code: Select all
cd "<...>\PhD version files"
<various minor routines>
exec ".\create all appex v5.prg"
When I run it, I get an error saying that the program 'create all appex v5.prg' isn't found on disk in a totally different place!
Code: Select all
<...>DOCUMENTS\EVIEWS ADDINS\CREATE ALL APPEX V5.PRG not found on disk in "EXEC ".\CREATE ALL APPEX V5.PRG"" on line 35.
I reset with cd directly and try running that line but each time it thinks I'm trying to call a program from an 'eviews addins' folder for some reason.
The status line has the correct Path.
I'm running Eviews 12 University Edition

Thanks Gareth. Any idea why it's calling from addins even though I'm using
?

Is the program you are running from saved to disk?

Is your copy of EViews up to date?

I downloaded Eviews 12 University edition about a month ago - is that up to date?

Should be.
Seems strange.
Can you do the following:
- Create a brand new program.
- Enter a single line:
- Save as "c:\temp\test.prg" (make sure you have a folder called test)
- Run
It should error saying "c:\temp\foo.prg not found"

Not sure what you mean by 'a folder called test' but I saved in both the location specified and a subfolder called 'test'. In both cases I got the error:
Code: Select all
C:\TEMP\TEST\FOO.PRG not found on disk in "EXEC ".\FOO.PRG"" on line 1.Code: Select all
C:\TEMP\FOO.PRG not found on disk in "EXEC ".\FOO.PRG"" on line 1.

ok, so that appears to be working correctly. Something specific about your program is causing the weird behaviour.
(and I mean to say a folder called "temp". My bad)

OK I've replaced with include and for some reason it works. Very strange.
