Adjusting sample size
Posted: Mon Sep 09, 2013 10:40 am
Hello everybody !
I have written a big program in EViews. Now that everything works I want to generalize my program. That means, in stead of manually putting scalars everywhere I want to do it just one time on top of my program. For example:
on top of my program I stated: "scalar test = 20"
My samplesize is changing a lot through my program. If i now state:
"smpl 1 test" this will give an error: error in sample: Illegal date.
But if i put: "smpl 1 20" it works.
Does anyone know how to fix this? I checked the help documentation but I did not get any wiser from this.
I also tried "@test" , "!test" and "smpl 1 1 test"
It all did not work. All help is highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance!!!!!!!!!
