Problem with @WCross

[johansamuelsson]

Hi

In the code below, %series and %series2 is not same. Check this out

Code: Select all

%series = "a1 a2 a3 a4 a5 a6" %series = @WCross(%series,")") %series = @WCross("@pc(",%series) @UiPrompt(%series) %series2 = "a1 a2 a3 a4 a5 a6" %series2 = @WCross("@pc(",%series2) %series2 = @WCross(%series2,")") @UiPrompt(%series2)

Should be the same? Regards Johan

Not really. All of the @w functions work on "words". EViews views anything after an open parenthesis as the same word, until a closed parenthesis is encountered.

Thus:

Code: Select all

@pc(a1 @pc(a2 @pc(a3 @pc(a4 @pc(a5 @pc(a6

is one word.

where as:

Code: Select all

a1) a2) a3) a4) a5) a6)

is 6 words.
