Hi,

I am trying to rename series x as _. When I write "rename x _" eviews seems to wait for additional information as if the _ was for continuing the command in an additional line. This didn't happen before the latest patch, how can I disable it?

Thanks,

Javier

This seems to work for me:

Code: Select all


create u 100
series x1=nrnd
rename x1 _

It seems to work in the program but not in the command editor.

Thanks,

Javier

We'll look into it.

I don't think we can do much about this due to the line continuation feature. There is a work-around:

Code: Select all


string tmp = "_"
rename z1 {tmp}
d tmp

Turns out my program was a bit of a red-herring. If you have lines of code after the rename, it also won't work. You can also get around that via:

Code: Select all


%tmp= "_"
rename z1 {%tmp}

Not the most attractive work around...
