setobslabel(series) order of events
Posted: Tue Feb 01, 2011 3:27 pm
I am using the latest build of eviews 7.1.
I want to use an alpha series in place of my date series along the bottom axis. If I build the graph through the menus and options, it works properly; however, if I try to use te setobslabel in my code it seems to not work.
I assume I have a contradictory statement or something that overrides my alphaseries and forces it to the date series.
As such, I have included all subsequent graph commands for inspection.
