Copying a Group

Hi,

I am trying to copy groups from country workfiles (i.e. us_q,uk_q, and jp_q...etc.) into a new workfile page named "calculation." But every time I run the program, the group data are not being copied. Below is the simplified version of my code for your reference. As can be seen in screenshots below, data are lost somehow. Thanks in advance!

Code: Select all

%start_ls="2013M1" %end = "2016M3" pagecreate(wf={%wfname}, page="calculation") q %start_ls %end smpl %start %end group calc_{%x} caicomp_{%x} caihat_{%x} copy {%x}_q\calc_{%x} calculation\calc_{%x}

A group doesn't have any data other than the names of the series it contains. Thus when you copy a group, by default, only the names of the series are copied.

There are options on copy to copy the series as well as the group.
