Is there a way to export .tsd files containing series with names that do not conform with EViews naming restrictions (e.g. "illegal names")?

I am trying to export series from Aremos to EViews and then back again to Aremos. And Aremos allows many more characters in series names (e.g. @, £ and %).

Best,

I assume you're accessing the TSD file as a database (eg. using the 'dbopen' command), and that you're currently using the 'store' command to export the series?

If you need to rename during a store operation, you need to use the 'copy' command. eg.

dbopen mydb
copy x__ mydb::x@%%

You could also store the series with the EViews name, then do a rename after you've written the series to the database
dbopen mydb
store x
rename mydb::x x@%%

Hope that helps.
