Label fields get lost when unstacking series

Postby mamo » Thu Nov 09, 2017 1:19 am

Dear Eviews team,

I use Eviews 9.5 Dec 2016 build

I found that the label fields get of a series in a panel structure gets lost when unstacking the series
I am not sure, but assuming that the maximum amount of information should be retained in the process of unstacking, I would consider this a bug
See example code below,

Best, mamo

Code: Select all

' Number of cross sections !ncross=4 ' Number of variables !nvar=2 'Create workfile with a panel structure wfcreate(page=stacked) a 2000 2016 !ncross 'Create an alpha series identifying the cross sections alpha group for !i=1 to !ncross smpl @all if crossid=!i alpha group = "G"+@str(!i) next smpl @all 'Create variables xi with some label fields for !i=1 to !nvar series x{!i}=nrnd %descr="Variable "+@str(!i) x{!i}.label(d) %descr x{!i}.label(s) "My program" x{!i}.label(r) "Some remarks" x{!i}.label(u) "NA" next show x1.label ' The unstacked variables loose the label fields pageunstack(page=unstacked, namepat="?_*") group @date @ x* show g1_x1.label

No a bug so much as a missing feature. Currently copy operations do no copy attributes.
