Fetching Forecast Data From Datastream

[KUN0]

I'm on a roll....

Fetching IMF data with forecasts is only giving me data through 2015 but there is supposed to be forecast data through 2020. Doesn't work in eviews 8 or 9

Let us look into it. If however you use, the Zappy servers you do get the forecast data:

Code: Select all

dbopen(t=datastreamxml)
fetch WDWOGDPDA

Alternatively, you can manually fetch the data

Code: Select all

fetch WDWOGDPDA~1980-01-01~:2020-01-01

We finally moved off Zappy (which is still giving the forecast part without any problems).

It's dataworks which is being a pain...

It doesn't appear to be on the EViews side. I've sent an email to Thomson to see what needs to be done.

Hi Jason. Any updates on this?

[EViews Jason]

We (meaning Thomson and us) are still working on a solution.

This is also more than likely going to require an EViews patch.

Alright. I'll check back after I spot the next patch. Thanks for looking into this.
