For example, neither of the fetch commands below will retrieve anything from the RFOR databank on IHS Magellan
Code: Select all
wfcreate(wf=regionalmacro) q 1960:01 2020:04
dbopen rfor
fetch NR@*.Q
fetch NR@??.Q
However, the following fetch command that replaces "@" with the ? wildcard (and ?? for state abbreviations) will retrieve the total population forecast series for all of the states (e.g. nr@ak.q, which Eviews automatically renames as nr_ak):
Code: Select all
fetch NR???.Q
This behavior seems to have popped up when Eviews 9.5 was released or shortly before. Is this a bug or an intentional change?
