Hi, does the Eviews programming language allow keyboard input?
Such as prompting the key board to assign a value to a string or numeric variable, and then the program moves on with the assigned value?
Best,

Thanks.
I would recommend you to put this function in the next version of Eviews, though. In our company, this is the great strength of FAME against Eviews. Keyboard inputs can create frequent "pause" in the FAME program, allowing us to examine econometric results one by one. There are many other convenient options that can be generated from this function. In Gauss, there is also a Keyboard input function. Many FAME programs cannot be migrated into Eviews.

A much more powerful version of this is in the works...
Stay tuned.
