Strange sample setting behaviour in an undatead paneel workfile
Posted: Mon Sep 28, 2020 2:20 am
Dear Eviewers,
I use Eviews 11 Sept 2019 built 64 bit.
I detected some strange results when trying to set constrained samples in an undated panel page (details in the code below).
Is this a bug?
Best, mamo

Code: Select all
wfcreate a 2000 2010 2
pagestruct dateid crossid
' The following line works as expected
smpl @all if crossid=1
'' Unexpectedly, the following line
'' gives the warning message:
'' "Sample contains no observations"
'' Why is this so?'
' smpl @all if dateid=2009
'' The following line does not yield a warning
'' But neither does it deliver the expected result:
'' the page sample does not change
' smpl @all if dateid>2005
'' Why?
