Value map problem
Posted: Fri Sep 16, 2016 12:26 pm
I am trying to create different smpl starting dates for each series so that I can merge them with the appropriate other series. The value map works ok as long as I use the text directly.
valmap b
b.append usa 2012q1
b.append france 2011q3
b.append germ 2010q4
alpha start = @map("usa",b)
If I do:
%try = "usa"
alpha start = @map(%try,b)
it still works.
However If I do:
group g3 usa
%try = g3.@seriesname(1)
alpha start = @map(%try,b)
It no longer works. What do I need to do to get the correct input for the map function?
I am using Eviews 8 on a Windows 7 machine.
