Maybe. Thanks!

I am pulling down about 120 series from the BLS database connection, well short of the 500 query limit, and I keep getting locked out of the API with the statement: Database Error: BLS library error: 'Request could not be serviced, as the daily threshold for total number of requests allocated to the...

Just refreshing this post. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
Best,

I'm replicating the Eviews Database Extension white paper example for custom files (first example). I've built my CustomDbMgr com file with no errors. I can also see the com reference in Visual Studio and VBA references and can see the properties of it. However the command "edxadd EDXSamples.Cu...

Correct. Nor can I launch the F1 help function. More of a nuisance than anything.

I can't seem to pull up any references in 8.1 via the help menu. The program hangs terminally or flat out crashes. Have 64 bit version, build Jan 12, 2015.

Michael, try something like this. Create a program file and run. This is probably not the most elegant solution, but it works for me. group tmp * ' or create a list of 50 variables %sname="d" !counter=1 while %sname<>"" %sname=tmp(!counter) ' Variable name {%sname}.x12(save "...

Gareth, I've attached another file that for all practical purposes looks just like the prior CSV file and it reads it without the skip=0 statement. That is this statement reads it correctly: pageload "C:\Users\mill1707\Documents\MI Forecast\Data\bls\la.csv" Can you identify why this works ...

Really? Either way that worked. Thanks,

Here's the statement that used to work

pageload "C:\Users\mill1707\Documents\MI Forecast\Data\bls\emp.csv"

I just updated to build Nov 11 2014 on Eviews 8 64bit, and suddenly my programs stopped working. I didn't need to use arguments in the past to read a CSV file with variable names on line 1, but now it automatically skips the header row and gives me series01....series100 instead of using the column n...

Ah, I think I'm seeing your point Startz. In essence, since the least squares objective function is measuring two different sets of values, we would not expect the two trend estimates to be equal and that the values that correspond to E[error]=0 and not comparable. Let me play around with this a bit...

Thanks Startz, I had to temporarily divert my attention to other issues. I'm not sure this helps me with an explanation as to why the two approaches result in different slopes. Maybe I'm not fully appreciating the role of stationarity in estimating the linear growth. Detrending from levels appears t...

Jason, I'm running Windows 7 64Bit, fully up to date, and Eviews (64Bit) is fully up to date. It could be that I have EViews open in the secondary monitor, it switches to my primary (laptop) monitor when at home. Now it is very possible that this behavior occurs after I return to the office and do n...

Gareth,

That's pretty slick. In effect we can add other attribute fields to our liking as well. Thanks!
