Exclude forecast from seasonally adjusted series

Postby vandwou » Mon Feb 13, 2023 10:16 am

I am performing a seasonal adjustment using the following commands:

smpl if jobseek <> NA
jobseek.tramoseats(runtype=ts, opt="seats=2 mq=12 lam=-1 inic=3 idif=3 ieast = 0 itrad=2 iatip=1 aio=2 npred=0",save="sa") jobseek.
smpl @all

Even though I do not want a forecast, it appears that EViews automatically appends a two-year forecast to the seasonally adjusted time series.

I am looking for:
- a programmatic solution that is as close as possible to the command I used (an adjustment to the command .tramoseats would be great; adding extra lines of code is a dangerous undertaking, as we are many people using a long script and we communicate in terms of line-numbers), but that does not include a forecast in the seasonally adjusted time series;
- a reference to the place where I should have been able to find this information myself. I spent quite some time browsing through official and unofficial eviews documentation I am devastated that I was unable to help out myself.

You're probably better off using X-13 to do the tramo/seats.
