Model will not solve

I am trying to solve a model for the first time and I get the message that one of my equations "is not a series".
I have followed the EViews model building guide closely, and am quite confused.

You'll have to provide your workfile.

The first tab CURRENTmodel is where I am working.
Thanks!

The fine entry in the model is:
Code: Select all
@IDENTITY gdpr_cri = eq_cgvr_cri + EQ_CPVR_CRI + EQ_IFR_CRI + EQ_IIR_CRI + EQ_XR_CRI - EQ_MR_CRI
As the error message indicates, eq_cgvr_cri is not a series, it is an equation object. You cannot sum equation objects. I assume you meant to sum the dependent variables, not the equations.

Thanks very much!! I deleted the "eq" preceding my variables, and now it solves.
