FAME Formula Error

[tfinkel]

I'm running into a problem where I can't fetch a formula object from FAME.

In FAME I have two databases - a & b.

In database a, I have a series, series_1 and it's formula is a'series_1 = b'series_2.

When I try to fetch the series I get the following error:

Database Error: FAME library error: 'b is not an open data base'

It appears that the problem is I cannot fetch formula objects from FAME server databases. Please let me know if there are any workarounds or what I am doing wrong.

[EViews Jason]

FAME formula support in EViews is limited. Simple formulas which reference objects within the same database is supported. Formulas which reference objects in a different database unfortunately is not. The only thing I would suggest would be to combine the 2 databases into 1 and remove the database specification in the formula, but that may not be feasible.
