Conditional forecasts in VAR framework

Hi!
I want to make sure that I have correctly made conditional forecasts in order to assess policy effectiveness. I describe methodology step-by-step:
1. I estimate a Bayesian VAR with 30 endogenous variables with monthly data from January 1990 to December 2010.
2. Then I make model out of it (by Proc/Make model).
3. I make baseline forecast from January 2010 to December 2010 (Deterministic/dynamic solution).
4. To assess policy effectiveness in period form January 2010 to December 2010, I make an alternative scenario where I override policy variable with counterfactual values in that period.
I will greatly appreciate your comments!
