recoding data from all series simultaneously?

[Lama]

To analyze my data I have to import a .por-file into Eviews, which works just fine. But how can I set all missing values(in all series to NA? EViews Illustrated (p. 56) recommends to use --> Quick/Generate Series...--> Generate Series by Equation (or alternatively @recode). Trouble is, I can't select all the data in one procedure (a wild card (* or ????) doesn't work.. Is there a possibility to recode all my series in the work file at once?

Yours gratefully,

Lama

There isn't an easy way to do this.

Best thing to do is to write a quick for loop in a program that would loop through your series and recode them one at a time.

Something like:

Code: Select all

group allvars * allvars.drop resid for !i=1 to allvars.count %name = allvars.@seriesname(!i) {%name} = @recode(....) next

Where you fill in the @recode command with the recoding you want to do.
