Independent Variable (Series) Not Defined

Postby AJanis » Tue Jul 02, 2013 10:42 am

When running a program, I get an error saying:

"VariablePage\SeriesName is not defined in 'EQUATION EQ_MODEL.LS DEP_VAR C @SEAS(1) @SEAS(2) @SEAS(3) @SEAS(4) @SEAS(5) @SEAS(6) @SEAS(7) @SEAS(8) @SEAS(9) @SEAS(10) @SEAS(11) VariablePage\SeriesName MA(1) AR(3)"

Some potentially useful info: the model was created in version 8 and the error was produced in version 7.2 (which was patched/updated with the Jun'13 update). Additionally, I tried running the program using a different series and that didn't work.

Thoughts on what might be causing this error?

EViews 7 doesn't support page\series.

Thanks Gareth...I thought that might be the case.

Is there an easy work around?

Copy the series from the other page onto the current page, then include it in the estimation.
