How to give date specification for daily stock market data

[mido21]

Hi
I am trying to give date specification for daily stock prices. I tried in "dated- Specified by a date series" . Could any one help in this issue. Initially I read the data as undated series and later tried to use the above mentioned option. But I was not ale to get it right.
I have the data from 1995 to 2009 June. If I choose the option of 5 Days week, date and data will not match due to holidays is the week. I have seen he exaple files this is done by specifying the date series. I tried to do in that way, but without success. Could any one tell me how to do this. I initially read the date and data as undated series and later attempted to restructure the work file. Here I used date series as Identifies series. But eviews reading the date series as numbers and no as dates. How to specify the date series.

You're doing the right thing. Hard to say why it isn't working without seeing the data.
