pagecopy discards date information

It seems that pagecopy discards date information for series when copied sample is set to one single period.

Code: Select all

wfcreate a 2000 2020 series tmp=0 pagecopy(page=tmp,smpl=2010 2010)

The same goes for pagecontract when contracting to one single period. It seems that (to get a page with a dated frequency only covering one period) one has to use pagestruct and explicitly state what frequency and sample to use. IMHO, this should not be necessary.

I agree with the spirit of your complaint.
