Add "fetch" or "update" procedure to the group object

Postby mamo » Fri Apr 17, 2015 1:31 am

Dear Eviews team

I use eviews 8.1.

I would find useful a procedure like "fetch" or "update" with the appropriate arguments to be part of the the group object's set of procedures.

For instance, let gr denot a group object:
gr.fetch(d=mydatabase, link) or gr.update(d=mydatabase, link)
would allow me to update all the series in the group gr if the groupmembers are contained in the database "mydatabase", and optionally linking them to that database

Currently, this can be done only through the menus: Selecting a couple of seris and clicking right offers me the possibility to fetch / update from a database.
While the "fetch" command is available to update from or link to a database, this refers to all the series or objects which are specified in the argument to fetch and as they are found in the database. In contrast, the above suggestion would refer only to the groupmembers to the extent they are also found in the database.

Best, mamo

Kind regards
