Hi Michel I did come across a problem - I can not remember just now what it was, I think it was to do with running the pre-compiled (i.e. the release) 4.2 - will let you know, pos. later today. Brgds George

Hi George,
do you have an example that doesn't work with 7.0 or 7.1?
Best

Hi I think an even higher Matlab version than 7.1 may be needed to support Dynare 4.2 Brgds George ________________________________ Fra: dev-bounces@dynare.org på vegne af Michel Juillard Sendt: on 27/04/2011 09:37 Til: List for Dynare developers Emne: Re: [DynareDev] calling Matlab functions with no arguments The person is running 6.5 For the time being, I advise her to switch to Octave.

However this syntax is not allowed in older versions of Matlab. I searched, but couldn't find which version starts to authorize the () construct. Some time ago, we had decided not to use () in Dynare, but those have reappeared for some time. As far as I can see, the problem has not be mentioned on the forum since the end of 2008, but I have just received a message from somebody in Madagascar who encountered it. We should either remove () or find the Matlab version that first authorizes it and modify the mention that Dynare works with Matlab version 6.5 and above I tried with MATLAB 7.0 and () is accepted. I read the release notes of MATLAB 7.0, 6.5.1 and 6.5, and nothing is mentionned about this. Either MATLAB did not document this change in its release notes, or this person is using a version older than 6.5 (in the latter case, she must be getting a warning when Dynare is run). It could be useful if you asked which version of MATLAB this person is running.
