Hi,
Problem finally solved, after finding tips from other posts.
For instance, one way of creating a monthly year-to-date series (y) for a monthly series (x), one can use the @recode function : y=@recode(@month=1,x,y(-1)+x)
If the series x is a quarterly series, then y=@recode(@quarter=1,x,y(-1)+x)
Hope this can help new Eviews users like me
