@ilast is not a Genr or series expression function

[loulouviews]

Hi,

I want to fill a vector with number of the last observation of timeseries
I'm doing :

Code: Select all

vector(2) myVector myVector.fill @ilast(myTs1), @ilast(myTs2)

But I got the error :"@ILAST is not a Genr or series expression function."
Doing :

Code: Select all

vector(2) myVector !nb1 = @ilast(myTs1) !nb2 = @ilast(myTs2) myVector.fill !nb1, !nb2

Is working like a charm but I'm wondering why I get the error mentioned above since @ilast returns a scalar which is what is expected as an argument by fill.

There are certain functions that only work in "series" world, and some that only work in "vector" world.

The vector processor doesn't understand @ilast since it only exists in series world.

Ok, thanks for your quick reply.
