Fetching Forecast Data From Datastream

I'm on a roll....
Fetching IMF data with forecasts is only giving me data through 2015 but there is supposed to be forecast data through 2020. Doesn't work in eviews 8 or 9

Let us look into it. If however you use, the Zappy servers you do get the forecast data:
Code: Select all
dbopen(t=datastreamxml)
fetch WDWOGDPDA
Alternatively, you can manually fetch the data
Code: Select all
fetch WDWOGDPDA~1980-01-01~:2020-01-01

We finally moved off Zappy (which is still giving the forecast part without any problems).
It's dataworks which is being a pain...

It doesn't appear to be on the EViews side. I've sent an email to Thomson to see what needs to be done.

We (meaning Thomson and us) are still working on a solution.
This is also more than likely going to require an EViews patch.
