Fetch in specific sample periods

Postby cntantamis » Wed Apr 02, 2014 12:07 pm

Hi,

I am using the hfetch command to retrieve a series (xyz) from HAVER database.

Assume that I have a workfile with range from 1990 to 2020, and the series in the database goes from 1990 to 2015. If I want to fetch xyz only for the period between 1990 and 2010, is there any way that I can do that without changing the range of my workfile?

I have already tried by changing the sample, i.e., 1990 to 2010, but when the series is fetched it is populated all the way to 2015.

Many thanks in advance.

When fetching from a database EViews always fetches the entire series. I would set the opposite sample (2010 to 2015) and set the series to NA.

I appreciate your quick reply, and for your suggestion. Although I fetch simultaneously many series, I can give it a try.
