Bug in conversion of weekly datestrings using @ateval
Posted: Wed Oct 21, 2020 4:27 am
Dear Eviews team,
I use Eviews 11 Sept 19 built 54 bit.
There seems to be a bug when converting weekly date strings to a date value in weekly frequency, as "@dateval(yearweek, "YYYY:WW") provides NA for appropriately defined data.
In contrast, as the example code below shows, the corresponding approaches for monthly, quarterly, or semiannual frequencies work as expected.
So what is wrong with the weekly frequency?

I have detected the following bug (see also example code below)
