Hi,
I'm executing EViews from VBA and I would like to know if there's a command to see the error message that comes from EViews when it's executing something wrong.

I want to initialize add factors. If I run the command _model.addinit(v=n,s=b) @all in a program, it shows a error in the log, but if I execute this command, EViewsApp.Run "_model.addinit(v=n,s=b) @all", in my VBA's sub, I'm unable to know that an error happened and I would like to catch it when it's the case.

Thank you!

Alexis:

Are you catching any VBA errors that are thrown? I believe our Run command throws any EViews errors as an exception that should be caught by your code like this:

Code: Select all

Public Sub test()
    Dim mgr As New EViews.Manager
    Dim app As EViews.Application
    
    Set app = mgr.GetApplication(ExistingOrNew)
    
    On Error GoTo ErrorHandler
    
    app.Run "_model.addinit(v=n,s=b) @all"
    
ExitHandler:
    Exit Sub
    
ErrorHandler:
    MsgBox Err.Description
    Resume ExitHandler
End Sub

Hi Steve,

Yes, you're right, but it seems to be the only way that we don't catch the error, that's weird... If a run a model, it shows me when I have an error, but for the initialization of the add factors, we don't catch it unhopefully... So there's no other way to catch the errors that Eviews throws?...

Thank you!

What error does it show when you run it in EViews?

Division by zero in "ARSCALEGVA equation" in "_MODEL.ADDINIT(V=N,S=B) @ALL".
