Put Scalars into a matrix

Hi,

I have generated about 1000 scalars and I want to put them together into a series or a matrix in order to compute the quantile funciton.
How do I do that?

Thank you.

Code: Select all

mat(1,1) = scalar1 mat(2,1) = scalar2
etc...


If they've got a nice naming pattern, you could for loop it:

Code: Select all

for !i=1 to 1000 mat(!i,1) = scalar{!i} next

Thank you.

I want to estimate 10000 equations within a programme, however eviews stops, when it is time to estimate the 1000th equation. Is this the limit eviews can handle?

Nope, I just created 20,000 equations without a problem.
