I'd like to fetch data from an EViews database but for frequency conversion, I'd like to use point estimates.
For example in a particular series, when converting from high (quarterly) frequency to low (annual) frequency, I want to use quarter 3 values as the data points when converting it into an annual series. Is there an argument that I can use along with 'setconvert' in order to achieve this?
Fetch argument for point estimates?

Use c=l on fetch.
Re: Fetch argument for point estimates?
Sorry I may have phrased that incorrectly. My data is complete from 1950 Quarter 1 to 2015 Quarter 4.
I'd like to override the fetch command and use quarter 3 of every year as the annual data points.
For example, 1992 Quarter 3 would be used as the 1992 data point in the annual workfile.

Ah, that can't be done. You'd need to fetch into a quarterly page, then copy to the annual
