Forecasting in EViews 11

Hi

Is there a way to procure forecast estimates of variables in a series? Right now, I was able to see the forecasts in graphs from a VAR model with endogenous variables, but would like them to be stored in a series as a dataset. How would we do that?

I actually did that. I saved as "VARFORECAST_F".

However, when I searched for "VARFORECAST_F" in the workfile, I could not find it.

Note that it is a naming suffix. Since a VAR is a multivariate model, the forecast will produce multiple series objects. Those forecast series will be named with the underlying series name plus the suffix you provide.

Ah I see. It worked, thanks
