upload series with period

[ravage]

Hi,
Small but important (for me) question. How would you upload a series from eViews into a database with a period in it?
Say I have these in eViews:
FHPICLXTAM_IAUS_MGME
FHPICLXTAM_IAUS_MGPE
FHPICLXTAM_IAUS_MGSY
is there any possibility to convert it to
FHPICLXTAM.IAUS_MGME
FHPICLXTAM.IAUS_MGPE
FHPICLXTAM.IAUS_MGSY
as it is uploaded into a fame database?

You can with the use of object aliasing in the database. It is a bit cumbersome if you have a lot of series but doable.

Open your FAME database

Code: Select all

dbopen(t=fame) myfamedatabase

In the Fame database window, select view->object aliases. Add lines similiar to

Code: Select all

myeviewsseries = myfameseries.myfameext

For example,

Code: Select all

FHPICLXTAM_IAUS_MGME=FHPICLXTAM.IAUS_MGME FHPICLXTAM_IAUS_MGPE=FHPICLXTAM.IAUS_MGPE

Now if you drag your EViews series from the workfile to the Fame window or if you use the store command (see example below), the series will get renamed.

Code: Select all

store myeviewsseries
