fetching object from database

[soungl]

I can't fetch objects from database by typing commands in command area, while I can do the same by using Fetch on the toolbar of the workfile. Eviews doesn't seem to recognize the file extention name edb.

The following is what I typed in commend area:

fetch "c:\program files (x86)\eviews6\example files\ev6 manual data\chapter 17 - eviews programming\progdemo.edb": : hsf

When entered, the following error message pops up:

PROGDEMO.EDB": is an illegal or reserved object name. Enter a name to be used in EViews.

I have EViews 6 and Windows 7 for operating system.

Thank you.

Remove the spaces you have at the end.

Code: Select all

fetch "c:\program files (x86)\eviews6\example files\ev6 manual data\chapter 17 - eviews programming\progdemo.edb"::hsf
