Assigning a date

[neilblake]

does anyone know how to assign a date in EViews? I want to find out which month has the maximum value of a time series (within a given date range) and then save that date in some way for use later on

Dates are just numbers. Nearly all functions that return a date will return a number. You can convert that number into a string representation of the date with @datestr to make it human readable.
