Im trying to unstack my data. I followed the example on the online help step by step from the following link http://www.eviews.com/help/helpintro.ht ... l#ww124194
proc/reshape current page => unstack in new page => series name=country => one or more series name = dateid and i got an error messgae saying
"Series specified for unstacking does not have valid values for
forming series names"
Can anyone please explain what this mean?

Re: error message when unstacking
Series names in EViews have to be fewer than 24 characters, have no spaces, or have other illegal characters. Your current cross-section identifiers are either too long, or have spaces etc...

There are no spaces in your cross-section identifier series?
