EViews 14: Bug in ARDL equation estimation

[vm1066]

Hi,

I have been trying to estimate this equation:
equation eq_x.ardl(cov=hac) log(x) log(y) log(z) @ @TRENDBR("1999Q3") @TRENDBR("2000Q3") @TRENDBR("2005Q3") @TRENDBR("2010Q4") @TRENDBR("2012Q4") @TRENDBR("2015Q2") @TRENDBR("2020Q1")

The relevant data file is attached with this post

x_data.csv

(3.24 KiB) Downloaded 666 times

. The data series are all sourced/processed from public providers (with variable names removed).

In EViews 13, the code runs fine and produced the required output. But in EViews 14, I get a "Near singular matrix" error. Can someone clarify if this is a bug or if there is a problem with the way I have specified in the equation?
