Document of fix behavior of det_cond_forecast
From https://forum.dynare.org/t/error-messages-when-building-the-forecast/22873/4.
I think there is either a bug or the manual is wrong. det_cond_forecast
seems to always expect three input arguments, i.e. the initial forecast date is mandatory.
IN_AUX.csv
UForecast.mod
Moreover, the second argument is supposed to indicate the past values of the endogenous variables. But using UForecast_3_arguments.mod I get the error message
the dseries smoothed finish at time 2023Q2 before the last period of forecast 2024Q3
which does not make sense if only past values are needed.
