Hi

In the code below, %series and %series2 is not same. Check this out

%series = "a1 a2 a3 a4 a5 a6"
%series = @WCross(%series,")")
%series = @WCross("@pc(",%series)
@UiPrompt(%series)

%series2 = "a1 a2 a3 a4 a5 a6"
%series2 = @WCross("@pc(",%series2)
%series2 = @WCross(%series2,")")
@UiPrompt(%series2)

Should be the same? Regards Johan

Not really. All of the @w functions work on "words". EViews views anything after an open parenthesis as the same word, until a closed parenthesis is encountered.

Thus:

Code: Select all


@pc(a1 @pc(a2 @pc(a3 @pc(a4 @pc(a5 @pc(a6

is one word.

where as:

Code: Select all


a1) a2) a3) a4) a5) a6)

is 6 words.
