Dear Eviews team,

Eviews version: 8, June 19 2013 build, 64 bit
OS: Win7

The following usage of a formula does not work as expected

Assume a monthly page:

string dummydate = "1/6/2008"
frml timedummy = @after(dummydate)
' this generates a timdummy=1 if @date is later than 1/6/2008, zero otherwise
string dummydate="1/6/2010"
' the frml object timedummy does not update automatically !

Best,
mamo

fmls only update when an underlying series or alpha series change, not when a string or scalar object change.
