R help - Sep 2011 - calculating VAR of a (Gumbel) copula

Hello,

I am a new user of R (2.13.1), my operational system is Windows Vista.

I have a problem with the attached file SFEVaRHAC.r, calculating the VAR of
a Gumbel copula, based on the attached GumHAC_VaR_PL_w250_n1000_s2500.txt

1.  I had a Error in file(file, "rt") : cannot open the connection
message.
I solved it by reading a post in nabble to use setwd(choose.dir())  and
read.table(file.choose()) and point the location of each file directly.

2. However, there is some other error - as I run the code now I get an
output:* Null Devise 1*

I am 100 % sure I have installed the used packages correctly and I don't
have any idea what is wrong.

Could somebody help me with this issue?

Best,
Iva

Maybe nothing?

Perhaps the procedure succeeded and you are misinterpreting the  
console message about the current active device (in your case the NULL  
device) and in my case R says this:
 >     dev.off()
quartz

Have you checked you working directory to see what "PL_VaR_Gumbel  
3D_0.05.pdf" file looks like?

Yes, David, you are right - I have misinterpreted the result. The.pdf is the
exact output and the algorithm is working.

Many thanks!
