Hi evereone,
I would like to create a new series in a workfile. The first obervation for that series is fixed (let us say equal to one). All other observations come form a series already in the workfile. I understand I cannot use Genr? Do I need to write a program rotating through the series observations? How do I do that using a simple example?
Here again what I need:

NewSeries(1) = "1"
For i = 2 to LastObservation
NewSeries(i) = Oldseries(i)
Next i

Not an expert on command reference. Any help is appreciated

Code: Select all


genr newseries = oldseries
smpl @first @first
newseries = 1
smpl @all

Hi Gareth,
thank you for your initial response. The code works perfectly. Now I would like to do the same for all series within a group. Let us say the group is named "xs" and is contained in a workfile. For all series within the group I would like to set the first value equal to one and all other values equal to the original value (just as before). The resulting series should be stored in a new group named "xsp". I have tried to come up with a solution for some time now but I am getting nowhere fast. Any help would be greatly appreciated...

Code: Select all


for !i=1 to xs.@count
	%sername = xs.@seriesname(!i)
	%newname = %sername + "p"
	series {%newname} = {%sername}
	smpl @first @first
	{%newname} = 1
	smpl @all
next
