Dear EViews users,

'create a workfile
wfcreate q 1990 2010

'create a y series
series y=nrnd

'create 15 X series
for !i=1 to 15
   series x{!i}=nrnd
next

The quaterly workfile goes from 1990 to 2010. So "y" will be of length 21*4=84, and so will be "x1",...,"x15" ? Am I right ?

Is it always necessary to create a workfile ? Or are there some uses that do not require a workfile ?

Thank you very much

Yes you are right.

You always need a workfile to contain the data you're creating. It does not have to be a new one, you could open an existing one and then remove the workfile creation line.
