@addquotes gives error if applied to alpha series

[mamo]

Dear EVIEWS team
I use Eviews 11, Sept 2019 built, 64 bit
@addquotes gives an error message

Error.png (6.98 KiB) Viewed 8170 times

when applied to alpha series, while @stripquote does (See example code below)
Best,
mamo

Code: Select all

wfcreate a 2000 2010 string hello="Hello" string hello_addq=@addquotes(hello) show hello_addq alpha ahello="""Hello""" ' while @stripquotes works with alpha series ... alpha ahello_strpq=@stripquotes(ahello) ' ... @addquotes doesn't (following yielding error msg) alpha ahello_addq=@addquotes(ahello_strpq)
