Documentation error on initial conditions

Hi

it seems to me the documentation is wrong here:
dynare.org/manual/index_20.h … conditions

At the bottom it says:
“M-file (extension ‘.m’): for each endogenous and exogenous variable, the file must contain a row vector of the same name.”

I get an error if i use row vectors but it works with colum vectors.

Could you provide me with an example per Email?

Thanks for pointing this out.
The attached file should solve the problem by automatically detecting whether column or row vectors are used.
initvalf.m (3.62 KB)

This will be solved in Dynare 4.5 and is fixed in the current unstable version.
