Fetch from database with modified names?

How do I fetch from an EViews database and rename the series before it goes into my workfile? I would like to append a "_01" to every series before it gets fetched.

Code: Select all

fetch(s=_01)

My understanding is that the 's' argument is for series that have a common suffix already appended to them in the database. I'd like to pretty much concatenate a string to each series name right before the fetch happens.

Ah, you're right.

You'll have to rename them after fetching.
