non-existent fetch instruction

I'm estimating an SVAR that includes the Fed Funds Rate (FedFR in program). When the program asks for the impulse responses to the shock related to FedFR to be graphed, an error message is displayed that claims that the fetch from the FRED data base is invalid, even though no fetch has been requested. When the stored SVAR itself is used for the impulse responses for FedFR, they are displayed without problem. This appears to be a bug.

Incidentally, I get all the data from an Excel spreadsheet. I estimate an SVAR with different restrictions prior to the crash that also involves FedFR without any problems. The graphed responses are displayed without any problems.

You've probably typed in a name that doesn't exist in your workfile, and you have database autosearch on, and you have FRED as your default database.

Even though I couldn't see the error, I think that was the case as I retyped the code and the problem has disappeared. Thanks.
