Crash with no warning on stacking operation

[yguill1]

Using Eviews 14, Apr 8 2025 build.

To reproduce this bug, download the WDI database in CSV format from the World Bank (https://databank.worldbank.org/data/dow ... DI_CSV.zip) and unzip.

Import the database (largest file in the ZIP) into Eviews:
wfopen WDICSV.csv ftype=ascii rectype=crlf skip=0 fieldtype=delimited delim=comma colhead=1 namepos=all eoltype=pad badfield=NA @freq U 1 @smpl @all

Each year appears as a separate series (num2020, etc), so one might want to stack on the time dimension with:
pagestack num? @ *? *

Eviews closes with no error message, no warning.

Looks like it is an issue with the size of the indicator_name being too long. We'll fix the crash, but in the mean time, if you delete that alpha series before doing the pagestack, you should be good.

Thank you for the reply. It's not the first time I see Eviews crash on a pagestack operation and I think you are correct that it is due to one of the series being too long.

Best,
