Summing a group into a serie (lots of series)

My EViews (build march 17) limits the number of series into a group sum.

The command: series ser01 = @sum(group01)

works well with few series in 'group01'. But with some dozens, the EV is closed! Specifically, I have 59 series to be summed.

Is this a natural limitation or a bug?

Yep, that's a bug, but I will point out that the @sum function isn't really designed to work on a group.

I believe it will, when it works, simply sum up the first series of a group.

Perhaps you meant to use the @rsum function?

Great! It works. I didn't know the @rsum function. I used to apply @sum. It's faster with rsum. Tks.
