Import data from excel plus freq conversion in Eviews9

[TM_Berlin]

Hi,

I've been using the following command successfully in Eviews 8 for importing daily data from an xlsm excel sheet into an Eviews workfile with quarterly data. The frequency conversion needs to be maximum per quarter:

import(c=x) c:\filename.xlsm range="sheet1" namepos=last @freq d5 1990

Since upgrading to Eviews 9, I get the following error message: "Unrecognized contraction option"

Any idea?

thanks
thomas
