CHECKSUM FILE

[marlenemaya]

Hi!
I'm simulating a deterministic new-keynesian model.
Dynare return this kind of error:
" can't open file filename/checksum"
I don't know what the checksum file is, and so it's impossible to understand the nature of the problem.
Can someone please give me an idea?
Thank you

That is a file created by Dynare to keep track whether the model has changed so the existing files do not need to be updated. It is used in the context of the

Code: Select all

fast

command line option, which is particularly useful when combined with the

Code: Select all

use_dll

option.

The error message you report suggests that either you do not have the correct permissions for accessing/writing that file or that it is still open from a previous process. You should typically be able to exclude the latter by closing and reopening Matlab.

Thank you! Closing all the related documents now it's working!
