Is it possible to set the general options through a programme command? In particular I am trying to set "history in labels" to "no automatic labels". Thank you!

I have a follow-up question to working with labels. Is it possible to copy the 'history' from one series to another? I can't find a way to call the history attribute (@history doesn't seem to do the trick!) Is there a way to access the history from a series label and convert it to a string or someth...

But the frequency, start and end dates of the series are not attributes that can be modified. Is there a way to add them to the series label?

Please can you tell me how to edit the label details of a series? For example, when I append a series label to a spool (spool.append ser01.label) I would like it to include the frequency and start and end dates. thank you!

Many thanks for such a quick reply!

Hello, please can you tell me how to set a string variable that is equal to the start date of a particular series? For example, working with quarterly data, the start date of series y is 1998Q1 and series x is 1990Q3, and I would like to create string ystart = "1998Q1" and string xstart = ...

Many thanks!!

All the variables in my model are endogenous. And yes, the missing values are only after the endpoint of each series. I'm using the Fit solution, because I want to assess the historical errors on each equation, so that I can set the add factors for the forecast after 2013. (which I'll run as a dynam...

In my 'actuals' I have several data series, with end points between 2010 and 2013. I want to be able to run a "Fit" solution to 2013, so I need to fill in the missing values between 2010 and 2013 somehow. I don't particularly want to overwrite my actuals data, but is there a way to use the...

Please can you tell me how to replace the Actuals with the Baseline data? I have a ragged edge dataset, and want to perform a Fit solution up to the latest point in the dataset, so I need to fill in the actuals series with forecast values for the missing observations.
Thank you!

I am having difficulting figuring out how to use the 'replacevar' command to modify model equations. I have tried the following: equation eqgid.ls dlog(gid_a) = c(1) + c(2)*(log(gid_a(-1)) - log(yed_a(-1))) + c(3)*dlog(yed_a) + c(4)*dlog(gid_a(-1)) minmod4.append :eqgid minmod4.unlink gid_a minmod4....

Many thanks for the very quick and helpful replies. It turned out that my text editor was adding a "txt" at the end of my file name, so it wasn't found. One follow-on question to this. I have managed to get Eviews to call the x13 programme and create the series that I'm after, but I can't ...

Please do you have an example of a specification file that runs through the x12 command? I am trying to run an x12 seasonal adjustment using the "force{}" option, so for example: cvnsa.x12(sfile=c:\testx12.spc) cvsatot1 but I keep getting an error message saying that the file testx12 canno...

Please can you tell me how I can constrain the parameter estimates in a simple least squares estimation? For example, I want to estimate:

y = c(1) + c(2)*x1 + c(3)*x2

where c(2) must fall in the range 0.1-0.2 and c(3) in the range 0.4-0.5.

Thank you!!

Please can you tell me how I can construct a data series in Eviews 8, of the form: y = y(-1)*z + x I can get the series to project forward, but if my starting value is mid-sample, it is not able to project backwards using the nomal genr statement. In microfit the command used to be "simb"....
