MODELTAB command (either in script or adding models to the model
table in icon view by draging) does not work when estimation in
script or console has been performed with --quiet.
It only adds one model and then does nothing.
That's now fixed in git (snapshots will follow tomorrow). Saving a
model ought to work (fully) even if the model has been estimated
with the --quiet flag, and it now does.
COINT command saves an empty icon if the switch --silent is
applied to a script
say
EGAIC <- coint 4 xlist --test-down=AIC --skip-df --silent
saves EGAIC icon but it is empty. Of course it is not empty with
either --verbose or no switch
This one is a bit different. The Engle-Granger cointegration test is
not a model as such, it's a hypothesis test which has one or more
models as part of its apparatus. Saving to a named object (above,
"EGAIC") in this case means saving the text output. If the --silent
flag is used, there's no text to save. So the fix here is that
you'll get a warning box, something like "EGAIC: no text to save",
if you issue the command given above. So instead of an empty icon,
no icon, with a suitable warning.
