Referencing Regressor Name Within Existing Equation

I have never tried to reference the name of a series within an existing equation before, but now I really need to, or my program will be really sloppy.

I checked the data members for equation objects, but they all seemed to be scalar/number in terms of type. Is there any way to retrieve a string containing the name of the series regressed based on its position within the equation? Similar to the way eviews gets the value of coefficients using: eq01.@coef(3) or eq01.@coef(5) ect. Maybe something like:

Code: Select all

eq01.@regname(3)
In other words, using some built-in command to get the name from the existing equation, and not having to form a separate group to use group.@seriesname(#)

Thanks for reading

There are plenty of string members.

Thank you big time, Gareth. I don't know why I thought string members and data members would be in the same place. Anyway, now I know.
