Saving X12 forecast standard error

Hi,

I have the following command which saves x12 forecasts to a new series object called cpi_b1:

Code: Select all

cpi.x12(mode="m", filter="msr", save= "b1 d10 d11 d12 d13", arima="(0 1 1)(0 1 1)",f)
I also need to save the standard errors of the forecasts. I have tried finding it in the EViews guides and references and also tried Google with no luck.
Any help would be appreciated thanks.

EViews version: 7.2

I'm not sure if the version of X12 we use supports that.

The standard error are available on the output from x12 (using proc menu from the series):

So, its not possible to extract them as a series via command line?

I couldn't find an option to do so in the X12 reference.
