I am trying to use the elements of svectors as arguments in a graph command
For example:

date_start and date_end are svectors, with elements like 30/11/1982 and 19/08/1986

however,
g1.draw(shade, bottom) date_start(1) date_end(1)
does nothing - the graph is unchanged
and, there is no error message
presumably eviews does not recognise these svector elements as the same type as would be usable as an argument to a graph?
thanks in advance for your help

Probably something like:

Code: Select all


%start = date_start(1)
%end = date_end(1)
g1.draw(shade, bottom) {%start} {%end}

I tried similar, but I am told "% start is not a valid string or scalar name"

Did you use {}

%start = date_start(2)
%end = date_end(2)
g2.draw(shade, bottom) {%start} {%end}

is what I used

Works for me:

Code: Select all


create m 1990 2000
series y=nrnd
freeze(g2) y.line

svector(2) date_start
svector(2) date_end
date_start = "1994m2"
date_end = "1994m12"


%start = date_start(2)
%end = date_end(2)
g2.draw(shade, bottom) {%start} {%end}

embarrassingly, I had forgotten to freeze my graph
