distinguishing between identities vs equation

[busuttilt]

Hi,
I recall that in Eviews 6, we could distinguish between equations and identities using the following commands

- modelname.append z=a+b+c (identity)
- modelname.merge (equation name) (equation)

however in the eviews 7 which i have the .append command is not calculating the identity. Has the command changed? help much appreciated

Nothing has changed. In EViews 5, 6 and 7, you add an identity like this:

Code: Select all

modelname.append @identity z=a+b+c
