data fetch with Datastream returning lagged series

[maragloria]

Hi there,

I'm using Eviews 13.

I've noticed that upon using the command fetch(d=Datastream) %Mnemonic, I'm being returned series that are lagged, and as such I'm missing the final year in the sample.

For instance, fetch(d=Datastream) BRWOGDP%R, which is real gdp growth for Brazil from IMF WEO, is returning NA for 2029, the last year forecasted by IMF WEO. Furthermore, the strong recession years appears as 2014 & 2015 instead of 2015 & 2016 as shown in IMF's website.

Not sure the issue is with you, or should I take it with Datastream?

Many thanks,

Mara
