Dear colleagues,
I’ve encountered an interesting error message (below) when using a simul command together with options_.debug=1; The error message is gone when options_.debug=1; is suspended. I haven’t encountered this error message when using options_.debug=1; together with the estimation command. My model is large, so I will not upload it here. I have tried to replicate the error with a small model and there options_.debug=1; works with the simul command without issuing an error message.
So my understanding is that the error message is due to the mere size of the model. I am wondering if the error message can be avoided on the Dynare side, as the requested array size is impressively large. Or, we must merely acknowledge the fact that we are not able to use options_.debug=1; with the simul command for large models.
Our IT team has not yet unblocked Dynare version 5.3, so this case is still under Dynare version 5.2.
