Hi,
I am estimating an equation with FUNCOEF. I get the results, but when I try to get the fitted series (both via menu and code) I get a syntax error. I am using Eviews 12 Jun. 8 build.
thanks a lot

I believe I understand why you're getting that message. In the estimation dialog, under "Functional coefficient series", you're providing multiple series. The functional coefficient estimator expects a single series here. Although you're getting estimation results, they are based only the first series in the list you're providing. Hence, to get forecasting to work, you'll have to re-estimate those equations with a single functional coefficient series spec.

I hope this helps.
