392—Appendix B. Command Reference

pagedelete Command

Delete the named page from the default workfile.

Syntax

where pgname is the name of a page in the default workfile.

Examples

pagedelete page1

Cross-references

See also pagecreate (p. 388).

pageload Command

Load one or more new pages in the default workfile.

Syntax

Command: pageload [path\]workfile_name

Command: pageload(options) source_description [@keep keep_list] [@drop drop_list] [@keepmap keepmap_list] [@dropmap dropmap_list] [@selectif condition]

Command: pageload(options)source_description table_description [@keep keep_list] [@drop drop_list] [@keepmap keepmap_list] [@dropmap dropmap_list] [@selectif condition]

The basic syntax for pageload follows that of wfopen (p. 532). The difference between the two commands is that pageload creates a new page in the default workfile, rather than opening or creating a new workfile. If a page is loaded with a name that matches an existing page, EViews will rename the new page to the next available name (e.g., “INDIVID” will be renamed “INDIVID1”.

pagesave Command

Save the active page in the default workfile as an EViews workfile (.wf1 file) or as a foreign data source.

Syntax

Command: pagesave(options) [path\]filename

Command: pagesave(options) source_description [@keep keep_list] [@drop drop_list] [@keepmap keepmap_list] [@dropmap dropmap_list] [@smpl smpl_spec]

Command: pagesave(options) source_description table_description [@keep keep_list] [@drop drop_list] [@keepmap keepmap_list] [@dropmap dropmap_list] [@smpl smpl_spec]

The command saves the active page in the specified directory using filename. By default, the page is saved as an EViews workfile, but options may be used to save all or part of the page in a foreign file or data source. See wfopen (p. 532) for details on the syntax of source_descriptions and table_descriptions.
