the 4th line error: "size do not match in matrix function", but it is a series expression.

That isn't a bug per se, rather it is a quirk of the EViews parsing language. When you're assigning into scalar (or other matrix objects), you can often not perform the same level of series algebra on the right hand side as you can when you're assigning into a series. This often means you need to create a temporary series, such as the one you did. Yes, this can be irritating.
