VAR forecast performance

Hi everyone!

I am stuck again in Eviews and will appreciate your help a ton. I am doing forecasts in VAR manually (i.e. make model & solve) but then I would like to compute the normalized means squared error (NMSE), mean absolute error (MAE) and mean absolute percentage error (MAPE). I compute the root mean squared errors with @rmse function. How can I compute these values manually?

Thank you!

There's an @mae and @mape function too...
