Hello,

I am trying for Macroprocessor in Dynare 6.3, the setup works fine with dynare 4.4.3, however, it doesn’t work with dynare 6.3. I wonder if there has been any update on this feature? I upload my files, my problems are at passing the macrovariables from the matlab file to mod file, couple of variables are not recognized in the intended format in Dynare 6.3, with the D command

Many thanks

Don’t use quoted strings to pass numbers:
