EViews.com

Hi,

I have a problem in using replacement variables for the path in the run command.

If I run this piece of code, it gives out an error:
%dir = "C:/TestE_Views/testcode"
run {%dir}

but equivalently the following code runs fine
run "C:/TestE_Views/testcode"

What am I doing wrong?
Is there a workaround this?

Any help is greatly appreciated!
thank you!

Works for me, and I ran it in EViews 7, EViews 6 and EViews 5.
