Stablish forecast out-of-sample

[AntonioAcha]

Hello, I'm coding an equation to make a forecast each month, so this is my code

smpl 2003m01 2016m11
equation eq1.ls(n) dlog(x) dlog(y) dlog(w) dlog(z) ar(1) ma(2)

and I need to forecast these equation for one month ahead , so instead of changing the forecast period each time , (2016m12-2016m12 now , 2017m01-2017m01 in one month from now, 2017m02-2017m02 next month ,etc...) I would like to program something like:

x.forecast x_fc

but indicating that I want to forecast it one month ahead each time, any help is appreciated . Regards.

I'm not clear on exactly what you want to do.

I would like to know how to put in the program the out-of-sample forecast for the equation I mentioned , for example , If I estimate eq1 for the period 2003m01-2016m11 and I would like to forecast 2016m12 , how would I put that in the program, regards
