Anybody can help to shut off the noisy warning. The warning keeps showing up whenever I run mod files.

Warning: The RandStream.setDefaultStream static method will be removed in a future release. Use
RandStream.setGlobalStream instead.

Please update Dynare. If you need 4.2, you need to identify the warning identifier and shut it off. If this was the last warning, you can use

Code: Select all

[msgstr, msgid] = lastwarn

and then

Code: Select all

warning('off',msgid)

It does not work. Here is the info.

Sorry, but I don't have a setup where I can test this. You should probably just ignore the warning or update your system.
