Hello,
I was on a Dynare course for students yesterday and we all had the same versions of Dynare and Matlab. However, when running a modfile (with the stochsimul command) most of the students got the following error message:
[quote]{Warning: usage: [bnds,rowd,sens,rowp,rowg] = mu(matin,blk,opt)}

What was surprising is that for some students Dynare finished succesfully. It seems that there is something wrong with the external steady state file. But also this file was the same for all students.
Does anyone has an explanation why the error message showed up for some but not for all students?
Any help would be highly appreciated!
Best,
Niklas
