Error G0063: operator missing

when I run following codes, it always shows operator missing, however if i separate the codes into parts, i can get the results i need. I'm wondering how to make it run smoothly without cutting codes into several pieces?

also how to make a loop if I want to redo following estimation by changing '5'  to 10, 15 and 20?

/* implied VAR(1) estimates */***********************/

b_lr = b_r*(1-(rho^5)*(phi^5))/(1-rho*phi); b_ld = b_d*(1-(rho^5)*(phi^5))/(1-rho*phi); b_ldp = (rho^5)*(phi^5); ident = b_lr-b_ld+b_ldp;

aux1 = -5*b_r*(rho^5)*(phi^(5-1))*(1-rho*phi)+rho*b_r*(1-(rho^5)*(phi^5)); aux2 = -5*b_d*(rho^5)*(phi^(5-1))*(1-rho*phi)+rho*b_d*(1-(rho^5)*(phi^5)); aux3 = (1-rho*phi)^2; aux_br = aux1/aux3; aux_bd = aux2/aux3;

"b_lr"; b_lr; 
"b_ld"; b_ld;
"b_ldp"; b_ldp;

jacob = ((1-(rho^5)*(phi^5))/(1-rho*phi))~0~aux_br|0~((1-(rho^5)*(phi^5))/(1-rho*phi))~aux_bd|0~0~5*(rho^5)*(phi^(5-1)); varcov = jacob*avcovb*jacob'; tstat = (b_lr|b_ld|b_ldp)./sqrt(diag(varcov));

It seems that you are missing a semi-colon towards the top on the line that reads:

dv=r~d~p

Below is an image of the error that I receive from GAUSS:

There is also another line missing a semi-colon further down--the second line after "---------------------------long-run coefficients-----------------------------------";

thanks for helping on this issue.

I also did another analysis after "--------long-run coefficients--------------------------------", but Gauss keep running without showing any results, I must did something stupid again..

"---------------------------K-year decompositions-----------------------------------";

Ku = 20;

b_lrk = zeros(Ku,1);

b_ldk = zeros(Ku,1);

b_ldpk = zeros(Ku,1);

identk = zeros(Ku,1);

t_lrk1 = zeros(Ku,1);

t_ldk1 = zeros(Ku,1);

t_ldpk1 = zeros(Ku,1);

t_lrk2 = zeros(Ku,1);

t_ldk2 = zeros(Ku,1);

t_ldpk2 = zeros(Ku,1);

b_lrkd = zeros(Ku,1);

b_ldkd = zeros(Ku,1);

b_ldpkd = zeros(Ku,1);

t_lrkd = zeros(Ku,1);

t_ldkd = zeros(Ku,1);

t_ldpkd = zeros(Ku,1);

identkd = zeros(Ku,1);

K=1;

do while K<=Ku;

/* implied VAR(1) estimates */

b_lr = b_r*(1-(rho^K)*(phi^K))/(1-rho*phi);

b_ld = b_d*(1-(rho^K)*(phi^K))/(1-rho*phi);

b_ldp = (rho^K)*(phi^K);

ident = b_lr-b_ld+b_ldp;

aux1 = -K*b_r*(rho^K)*(phi^(K-1))*(1-rho*phi)+rho*b_r*(1-(rho^K)*(phi^K));

aux2 = -K*b_d*(rho^K)*(phi^(K-1))*(1-rho*phi)+rho*b_d*(1-(rho^K)*(phi^K));

aux3 = (1-rho*phi)^2;

aux_br = aux1/aux3;

aux_bd = aux2/aux3;

jacob = ((1-(rho^K)*(phi^K))/(1-rho*phi))~0~aux_br|0~((1-(rho^K)*(phi^K))/(1-rho*phi))~aux_bd|0~0~K*(rho^K)*(phi^(K-1));

varcov = jacob*avcovb*jacob';

tstat1 = (b_lr|b_ld|b_ldp)./sqrt(diag(varcov));

tstat2 = ((b_lr-1)|(b_ld+1)|(b_ldp-1))./sqrt(diag(varcov));

b_lrk[K,1] = b_lr;

b_ldk[K,1] = b_ld;

b_ldpk[K,1] = b_ldp;

identk[K,1] = ident;

t_lrk1[K,1] = tstat1[1,1];

t_ldk1[K,1] = tstat1[2,1];

t_ldpk1[K,1] = tstat1[3,1];

t_lrk2[K,1] = tstat2[1,1];

t_ldk2[K,1] = tstat2[2,1];

t_ldpk2[K,1] = tstat2[3,1];

I made a new question to answer your question about the loop not ending which you can find here. It is generally better to start a new thread for a question about a different problem even if it is related, because it makes it easier for others in the future to find an answer to their problem if they encounter one like yours.
