Hi
Is it possible to automize the setting of object aliases in Eviews databases in a .prg?
Assume I have two text objects in a workfile containing the database tickers and the associated aliases (a_tickers and a_aliases)

Code: Select all


'text a_tickers
'text a_aliases

!n_tickers=a_tickers.@linecount

for !k=1 to !n_tickers
	%tickers=a_tickers.@line(!k)
	%alias=a_aliases.@line(!k)
	copy DB1::{%tickers} DB2::{%tickers}
	'command to set alias name %alias for ticker k in the database DB2	
next

Otherwise, another possibility would be to directly manipulate the OBALIAS.ini file outside Eviews.

Thank you in advance for your assistance.

Best regards
Rasmus

Can't be done, other than modifying the .ini.

Thanks for the prompt reply, will work on the direct .ini solution instead :)
