Show command: transformations across pages, w-files and dbs
Posted: Thu Mar 19, 2015 6:57 am
Dear Eviews team,
a perhaps not terribly improtant but nevertheless convenient nice-to-have feature in future versions of Eviews would be the possibility to apply transformations across pages, work files, and databases directly in the "show" command.
Let Q and A be two pages in the same workfile, and be x and y two series contained in page Q. Let page A be the active page.
Thus, while
show Q\x*100
works, more complicated transformations such as
show 100*(Q\x-Q\y)/Q\x
give rise to an error message.
Yet, transformations across pages, work files, and dbs work nicely with the frml command. So, for instance, one can do the following:
frml x_frm = 100*(Q\x-Q\y)/Q\x
show x_frm
It would however be more convenient if this can be done also directly.
