copying alpha series from one workfile to the other

[lenka]

Hi,
another copying/merging issue. There must be again something simple I am missing.
I am copying one numerical and one alpha series from one workbook to the other. For the numerical one there is no problem, the alpha series gets copied but it's empty in a new workfile.
copy WF1::ALLFORECASTS\f_diesel WF2::midterm\
copy WF1::ALLFORECASTS\cntrygroup WF2::midterm\
Attaching both workfiles

You're right. There seems to be a weird inconsitency when copying alpha series between panel workfiles using the command line.

The behviour doesn't match up with that of numerical series, nor with the behaviour you get when you interactively drag and drop an alpha series between the two workfiles.

We'll fix it in the next patch so they are consistent. For now, you should be able to get what you want by explicitly including the id series in the command.

copy WF1::ALLFORECASTS\cntrygroup WF2::midterm\ @src @date country_iq_code @dest @date country_iq_code

Thanks!
