Adding details to a series label

[HollEviews]

Please can you tell me how to edit the label details of a series? For example, when I append a series label to a spool (spool.append ser01.label) I would like it to include the frequency and start and end dates. thank you!

All object attributes can be set with:

Code: Select all

objectname.setattr(attrname) attvalue

where objectname is the name of the object, attrname is the attribute you want to set, and attvalue is the value you want to set it to.

But the frequency, start and end dates of the series are not attributes that can be modified. Is there a way to add them to the series label?

[EViews Gareth]

Code: Select all

create m 1990 2000 series x=nrnd %freq = @pagefreq %start = x.@first %end = x.@last x.setattr(Frequency) {%freq} x.setattr(Start Date) {%start} x.setattr(End Date) {%end} show x.label

I have a follow-up question to working with labels. Is it possible to copy the 'history' from one series to another? I can't find a way to call the history attribute (@history doesn't seem to do the trick!) Is there a way to access the history from a series label and convert it to a string or something?
thank you!

Unfortunately not.
