distinguish odd /even numbers

[Katjes]

Using EViews 7, I would like to use different commands according to whether the sample size is odd or even;
is there a specific command that looks to this issue or you have already a nice solution ;o)

sample 2000q1 2010q1+!step
!length=@obssmpl
if !length=EVEN then ...
else (if ODD) ..
endif

Code: Select all

if @mod(!length,2) = 0 then

will test for EVEN. Set it equal to 1 for ODD.
