Search for workfile series in database and fetch with suffix

[chester]

I have a page within a workfile containing a bunch of series.
I also have a database with the exact same series (and series names), but the time series data might be a bit outdated.
I'd like to search for each series in my workfile page in my EViews database and fetch those exact series with a "_01" appended as a suffix to the series name. This is for comparison purposes before I update those series in my database. Not sure how to go about this but here is what I'm trying to do.

Code: Select all

pageselect Newdata dbopen(type=eviews) "p:\filepath\database.edb" for !j=1 to count("Newdata") 'How do I find out the total number of series in workfile page? fetch(m, s="01") 'How would I fetch each series? next

Use the @wlookup command to retrieve all objects in a page (with options for filters).

Then loop through them and fetch one at a time.

The workfile page will not always have the same series and the user will never know how many series are in it.
Is there a way to @wlookup all the series in a workfile without referring to the series names explicitly in an argument?

Yes, use "*" as a wildcard.
