Help to import 90minute data into eviews

[deepaib]

Hi,

I have attached a sample data.I am trying to import this into eviews. I first imported it as an unstructured data and used command series datetime = date + @makedate(hour, minute, "hhmi"). But when use pagestruct command to change structure, I am getting message "Frequency of date series could not be determined or is not currently supported by eviews"

Could you please help me to resolve this issue?

Thank you.

I'm afraid 90 minute is not a frequency that we currently support (while two hour, one hour and 30 minute data are).

I don't think there's any great reason I can give you for this. We do have a requirement that intraday frequencies occur an exact number of times in the day, but 90 minute data does satisfy this. I'm afraid we just didn't expect people to have 90 minute data sets.

The only approach available at the moment would be to load it into an irregular 30 minute file (which is not quite the same thing), or load it in as undated file, and then explicitly use the date series in places where it is useful (eg. in linking series across pages using general match merge criteria).
