VAR forecasting suffix

[loulouviews]

Hi,

I've a strange error in EViews. I've a VAR and I'm doing forecast on a rolling window.
The code line is

Code: Select all

var_diesel_gas.forecast v{!ii}

with !ii going from 0 to a number lower than 100.
However I've the following error : 'VAR forecast name suffix must be 3 characters or less in "DO_ VAR_DIESEL_GAS.FORECAST V10"'.

What's the point here ? v10 isn't 3 characters or less ?

Badly worded error message. You need to enter 2 characters so that the full suffix (with the _ attached) is no more than 3 characters.

Ok thanks for your quickreply !
Btw, I think there is clearly something with EViews and lengthy variable names !
