"Report" function is generating a Licensing error

[bogmunds]

Do I need the reporting toolbox from Matlab to use this function? Its pretty expensive.

[jaromir-benes]

No, not at all. This must be just some mixed up (perhaps the Iris toolbox not set up/started up properly). Can you paste the entire message plus your code?

Here is the error:

I'm running code from an EdX IMF course that worked fine before i upgraded to Matlab R2020. This is the section of the code that generates the error:

%% Generate pdf report x = Report.new('Shocks');

% Figure style sty = struct(); sty.line.linewidth = 1; sty.line.linestyle = {'-';'--'}; sty.line.color = {'k';'r'}; sty.legend.location = 'Best';

% Create separate page with IRFs for each shock for i = 1:length(listshocks)

x.figure(listtitles{i},'zeroline',true,'style',sty, ... 'range',startsim:endsim,'legend',false,'marks',{'Baseline','Alternative'});

x.graph('CPI Inflation QoQ (% ar)','legend',true); x.series('',s.(listshocks{i}).DLA_CPI);

end

Hi

could you please make sure Iris is correctly on the Matlab path and has been started up?

For instance, just before running you script, can you type the following in the command window:

iris.version

and

iris.path

If you get an error message, you need to run

addpath C:\path\to\your\iris\folder iris.startup

where you replace C:\path\to\your\iris\folder with a proper path to your Iris root folder (use forward slashes if you use macOS or Linux).

Let us know. Best Jaromir

I tried running on the actual MATLAB software and not the online version and got a different error:

First I received the following message

when changing Report.new to report.new, I have received the following message
