Solve Options in Eviews 6 vs 7

Hi,

I'm trying to run a program in Eviews 6 which was written using 7. I'm wondering if there are any solve option changes that I should be aware of. The code looks something like:

model_{%obj}.merge {%obj}
model_{%obj}.solveopt(n=f)
model_{%obj}.scenario Baseline
model_{%obj}.solve(s=d,d=s)

%scenario=%model+" But-For"

model_{%obj}.scenario(n,a=_bf) {%scenario}
model_{%obj}.override {%override}
model_{%obj}.scenario(c) {%scenario}
model_{%obj}.solve

Basically, I loop through a bunch of equations and output fitted values and a 'but-for' scenario. The issue I'm running into is that my estimates for the 'but-for' series look off from what they should be. I changed the solve(s=d, d=s) option to d=d and I got much closer, but still not quite there. Any ideas would be very helpful. Thanks!

Most likely there was a bug fix, or change to model solves between the two versions you're using.

I do not believe the command syntax has changed.

Do you know if the option in 6, is d = t ?
