copying updated series

Hi,
I was trying to copy some series between 2 worksheets in Eviews 6 and I am experiencing the following problem.
The series which are copied appear in the new worksheet as if they were not updated (before copying I import them from xls and perform some calculations, the series copied to the new worksheet contain original values).
Is there any single way to overcome this difficulty?
best rgds, Krzysztof

ps. the interesting thing is that if I run the command for copying

Code: Select all

copy(o) aSer aSheet\aSer
from the command prompt then I receive the most updated version
however, this is not the case if I execute it through a program file

I'm afraid I have no idea what you mean by this.

What does "as if they were not updated" mean?

You seem to imply that you (somehow?) open an Excel file in EViews. You then change the values in the series. You then copy the series to a new page, and when you do the copy, the resulting series have the values from the Excel file, rather than the ones you changed them to in the first page. I cannot see how that could happen.

Thanks a lot for your reply.
I have managed to solve this problem and you are actually right (the series which are copied are the most updated ones).
The thing was that after copying I was overwriting the series with the old series by mistake.
Best, k
