hi everyone..here is my question
i work with some seasonal time series..(i must mention i am very new to the econometrics)..i take logarithm of series firstly,first level difference then,and seasonal difference ..so my series 'export' becomes 'D12DLNEXPORT'..
when i try to forecast ,i just want to predict the level variable: 'export' ,not the latest form(D12DLNEXPORT)..
can someone help please?

Re: forecasting the level variable
If you are forecasting from an equation, make the left hand side variable dlog(export) and EViews will offer to forecast the level. I'm not sure how to handle the seasonal part.
Re: forecasting the level variable
ok thanks..but its the seasonal part that actually causes trouble..
i think it can be something like that.. dlog(export,1,12) or dlog(export,0,12)
does these look possible? any idea?

Re: forecasting the level variable
You answered your own question. The DLOG function calculates log-difference, and it has arguments for both the difference order and the seasonal difference order.
