rename with wildcard code

Good morning,
I'm running a job I coded sometime ago, that I run on a monthly basis. This month it is crashing because something seems to have changed with the rename function using wildcards.

I have set of series that starts with the letter "d". I'd like to rename each series so that they end with p16. The code that used to work was
rename d* d*p16 and would yield dxxxp16. However, now it yields dp16xxx.
I've attached the workfile in question. Is there a new syntax for the rename function, using the * as a wildcard?
Any help is appreciated, and thank you in advance for your help, as always.
Bob

Code: Select all

rename d* d*p16

Hello,

A recent patch unfortunately introduced a bug into wildcard handling. The next EViews patch will correct the issue.
