Seasonal adjustment: EViews' specification file?

[apple]

When we request X12 seasonal adjustment from EViews, Eviews will write out a specification file. Could anyone kindly tell me where I can find and how I can open such a file?

Which version of EViews?

I am using EViews 6 but can access to new versions if needed. Thanks.

It will be located in your EViews temporary directory. You can find the location from the Options->File Locations entry.

Hello,

I'm writing code to seasonally adjust panel data by restricting my sample to each individual cross section. As the cross section identifiers are not continuous, I'm looking for a compact way to iterate over a discontinuous variable. Any suggestions?

Cheers!

EViews 8 has the @uniquevals function which will return the vector or svector of unique values. You can then loop over sample exclusions using those values.
