Illegal panel structure is nested within the previous dim...

[patrice]

I have this file dimple file:

Code: Select all

data_id value dim_2101 dim_2102 dim_2103 dim_2104 4 3 1972 512 78430 78439 5 4 1973 512 78430 78439 6 5 1974 512 78430 78439 7 6 1975 512 78430 78439 8 7 1976 512 78430 78439

When I execute this command:

Code: Select all

wfopen(type=text) "c:\Src.txt" delim=space @id dim_2101 dim_2102 dim_2103 dim_2104

I have this error message:

Code: Select all

'Illegal panel structure DIM_2104 is nested within the previous dimensions of the panel structure'

Any ideas ?
I want EViews to create an id like this 1972-512-78430-78439 (for the first line)
In fact, it works only if I specify only dim_2101 after @id, if I specify more than 1 dimension, I have this error message

The problem come from dim_2102, dim_2103 and dim_2104 wich contains a unique code for each dim (but If I concaten with dim_2101 it's unique and it should works !)

As the error message indicates, you cannot over-identify the observations in your workfile. There needs to be a one-to-one mapping between the ID series and the observations.

Perhaps what you could do is open the data as unstructured, then create a new ID series out of your existing ones, then once you have made the new ID series, re-structure the page by it.
