ECB SDM - Wrong Decimal Notation

[reep]

Hello,

I'm downloading the following time series from the ECB data warehouse with the following code:

Code: Select all

WfCreate q 1990 2019
dbopen(type=ecb, server=https://sdw-wsrest.ecb.europa.eu/service)
fetch bls__bank_selection=all.bls_agg_method=fnet.bls_count=e.bls_count_detail=z.bls_item=o.collection=b.decimals=2.effect_domain=st.freq=q.market_role=s.ref_area=de.time_format=p3m.time_horizon=b3.unit=units.unit_mult=0

Unfortunately, there is a problem with the notation (decimal places) of the time series.

The time series should look like this (taken from the ECB website)
https://sdw.ecb.europa.eu/quickview.do?SERIES_KEY=258.BLS.Q.DE.ALL.O.E.Z.B3.ST.S.FNET
2019-Q2 3.13
2019-Q1 -3.13
2018-Q4 -3.23
2018-Q3 -3.13
2018-Q2 -3.13
2018-Q1 -3.13
2017-Q4 -9.68
2017-Q3 -3.23

But it looks like this from my Eviews spreadsheet

Does anyone know a solution to this problem. I'm using Eviews 10.

Thanks!

Latest patch of EViews10 and EViews11 (build date June 4, 2019) includes an update on ECB SDMX database.

Additionally in your program change your fetch command as follows :

fetch bls__bank_selection=all.bls_agg_method=fnet.bls_count=e.bls_count_detail=z.bls_item=o.collection=b.decimals=2.effect_domain=st.freq=q.market_role=s.ref_area=de.time_format=p3m.time_horizon=b3.unit=units.unit_mult=0
