Dynare forums

hi,
I am new to Dynare and just tried to replicate the example in Chapter 3 of the User Guide.
For the mod file below Dynare stopped the process with the error message:

Starting Dynare (version 4.1.2).
Starting preprocessing of the model file ...
ERROR: dynare.mod:3.1-6: syntax error, unexpected VAREXO

??? Error using ==> dynare at 126
DYNARE: preprocessing failed

I haven't seen any other thread with the same error message, so I assume that I just made a stupid mistake. Still it would be nice, if you could point out, what I did wrong.
Thanks in advance


Mod file

stoch_simul (periods=2100);

okay,
the problem solved itself - a semicolon was missing.
