Hi Gareth,

I updated eviews patch of Novermber 25, 2014. Now the build is November 25, 2014.
However, bloomberg is not showing in the menu when I click open database database files.

Is there another patch I need to update for including bloomberg in the list?

Thank you very much for your help.

Hi, Eviews 8 enterprise version has been installed on bloomberg terminal. I want to directly fetch series. I basically followed the instruction from the manu "bloomberg database extension for Eviews", but for some reason the bloomberg database is not showing up in the list, as other extern...

I want to compare them as strings, or values. The reason is that I create multiple charts and they have different start and end date. I have to write commands to save the information of each sample range for charts and compare them. That's why the sample comparison is very important to me. Hope that...

Hi, I want to either directly compare two sample objects, or extract them into strings and then compare or manipuate them. How can I do that? I tried direct comparison for samples, but it doesn't work. For example: sample s1 1921 2010 sample s2 1920 2010 if s1=s2 then %error="Samples are the sa...

Hi Steve and Gareth, thank you for your reply. I have tried to access the SQL by following the instructions from Steve's last post. However I don't know why I can not fetch or export the real series stored in the SQL, but only the columne names. I have attached 5 screen shots for your reference. Fro...

Basically the query is performed by connecting to an external SQL server.
I will try to provide more information once I finish trials on my side.

Hi, I met a program with Eviews 8 ODBC functionality. When I try to use Eview to query an external database, Eviews always pops a window/dialog frame for the results. My question is: is there a way to store result of a query into a string variable, and saved it in a workfile, or the current workfile...

when you say "use a text object" do you mean by this?

wfcreate m 1900 2013
string m
m.append C:\Users\Liu\Desktop\io.prg


It doesn't take the file as a text and import it.

Hi, I want to import a .prg file, or a text file, and save it to a string. is there a way to do that? later I might want to revise this string and save it back to the file. for example, there is a .prg file path/p1.prg, in the file, the content is "Error message 1: ........, solution 1.......&q...

Hi, Is there a change in the the addtext command in eViews 8? The difference I experience is like this: In eViews 7 I wrote a program that creates textboxs in chart1 like this: p1. graph series1 p1.addtext(x1, y1) "Description of P1" p2.graph series2 p2.addtext(x2, y2) "Description of...

I just realized that although I didn't use ipolate directly, one of the subroutine that I used included this command and it expolated the series.
It's all good now. Thanks so much for your help.

I think maybe I should not call it ipolate but expolate or extend. what happened is like this: I have an existing workfile that is structured as: wfcreate m 1900m1 2015m1 When I fetch a monthly series that has data from 1990m1 to 2013m9, eViews 8 filled from 1900m1 to 1989m12 (as well as from 2013m1...

Hi, I have a workfile whose range is from year 1900 to 2020. When I fetch a series that has actual data from 1950 to 2011, eViews 8 automatically ipolates the series to the beginning and the end of the entire workfile. How can I set up eViews 8 like in eViews 7 that the series is not automatically i...

Hi, I am wondering if eViews 8 allows default option for subroutine argument, so that when user chooses not to specify one parameter, it will use a default vale. for example, I am creating a bollinger band subroutine. subroutine bollinger( series x1, scalar N, scalar K) Can I use command below or ot...
