Looping an equitation with different variables

[miorinnovo]

I'd like to create a number of series from the same equation with a number of different independent variables. For example y=0.5*x, but where I change what x is a number of times. I'm not quite getting the loop right. I tried:l

Code: Select all

for %var {%var_list}
%v1="firstvariable"
%v2="secondvariable"

series {%var}forecast = 0.5*{%var}
next

But I get a syntax error...

Any ideas?

Thanks

Nothing wrong with the code you posted (other than the %v1 and %v2 doing nothing).

Code: Select all

create u 100
series x=nrnd
series y=nrnd
series z=nrnd
series w=nrnd

%var_list = "x y z w"

for %var {%var_list}
%v1="firstvariable"
%v2="secondvariable"

series {%var}forecast = 0.5*{%var}
next
