Hope you had a good holiday
Alas, changing the date representation doesn't change the outcome -- the same series come up with the same error message

25 nov 2014 is the build date
it is quite odd, because I get the same error when I drill down into the Bloomberg database via the browse function
it also refuses to download in any frequency of workfile
I wonder if I have the date setting in eviews somehow misconfigured?
thank you

Hi When importing data from Bloomberg, I occasionally get the following sort of error: "Database Error: Bloomberg library error: 'The DateTime represented by the string is not supported in calendar System.Globalization.GregorianCalendar.' in "COPY(LINK) CURNCY::"KRW" KRW." T...

%start = date_start(2)
%end = date_end(2)

When I do the same, I still get the same values for lcpware and lcpware(ow) -- and in both cases the underlying data is lcpware. I think the problem is on the DS side, I kicked it over to them.
Thanks very much for helping on this, Jason.

actually, I get something slightly different -- it ignores the "ow" datatype, and just gives me "lcpware"

When I fetch Datastream series using the basic mnemonic, it works fine, but I haven't been able to figure out how to pull specific datatypes. For example, "lcpware" is lme copper warehouse inventories, and "ow" is the datatype for on-warrant. "fetch(d=datastream, link) lcpwa...

Ok, I understand. Here is how i operate (I have been using EViews for a decade, so you may find that i am a bit "old skool" -- let me know if there is a better way to operate): - i build data matrices in excel - i use excel for data visualization and manipulation - when i am read to use ev...

When i try to have eviews read data in excel 2007, i am getting no error message but the series comes back (mostly) empty and with the name "pk" If i save the same excel spreadsheet as excel 97-2003, eviews reads the data fine This is an "upgrade" that i made to excel 2007 that h...
