Eviews 14 Link Command Issue
Posted: Tue May 26, 2026 10:57 am
I am having an EViews issue that I think relates to the fact that we recently updated from EViews 12 to EViews 14.
When I run this code in EViews 14:
I get this error:
AMUSE_AREA_AK_NSA already exists and may not be modified
in "LINK AMUSE_AREA_AK_NSA" in AMUSESOLVE.PRG on line
125.
But this is the way we always ran this program in Eviews 12 and we never had an issue. I have looked this up online and the only way I've come across to fix it is to delete the series before linking. Is that truly the best way to do this?
When I run this code in EViews 14:
Code: Select all
for %y {%states}
link amuse_area_{%y}_nsa
amuse_area_{%y}_nsa.linkto(c=s) area\amuse_area_{%y}_nsa_1
nextAMUSE_AREA_AK_NSA already exists and may not be modified
in "LINK AMUSE_AREA_AK_NSA" in AMUSESOLVE.PRG on line
125.
But this is the way we always ran this program in Eviews 12 and we never had an issue. I have looked this up online and the only way I've come across to fix it is to delete the series before linking. Is that truly the best way to do this?
