Hi,
I'm using 9.5 Apr 5 2016 build.

This link between eviews and datastream I am finding particularly irksome.

Please could you tell me what I am doing wrong here?:

Code: Select all

fetch ds::ftse100(ri)

where ds is the datastream database, works just fine.

Code: Select all

frml a=ds::ftse100

also works fine, however

Code: Select all

frml a=ds::ftse100(ri)

does not..

Moreover - who can I contact about these things? should it be eviews or datastream? and who in particular - the folks at datastream deny all knowledge.

thanks.

You'll have to use a database link rather than a formula.

This is an EViews issue

Thanks Gareth,

could I set that up in a program or would I have to manually set the link in a pre-existing series?
(I'm trying to create a new series containing the data from that link)

thanks.

Easiest way is probably:

Code: Select all


copy(link) ds::ftsel100(ri) a

That's extremely useful.
