Saving inverted roots of an ARMA process in Eviews 9

[FionaP]

Hi

I am translating code from Eviews 7 into Eviews 9 and have a problem with saving the roots of an ARMA process.
When I try to run this line of code - EQ1.ARMA(TYPE=ROOT, SAVE=ROOT) - I get the following error message: root_AR is an illegal or reserved name in "DO_ EQ1.ARMA(TYPE=ROOT, SAVE=ROOT)".
It used to work in EViews7 so I am not sure what I am doing wrong, it seems consistent with the example provided here: http://www.eviews.com/help/helpintro.ht ... -arma.html.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Also, if this is a bug, is there any way I can get around it?

Thanks
Fiona

Looks like a bug that will be impossible to get around. We'll fix it within a few days.

Actually, we cannot replicate this - what is the build date of your copy of 9?

Build date is Mar 17 2016

Could you update to the latest version, and if the problem persists, upload the workfile with the equation?
