EV8 32bit build 2013-10-22

in p481 of "EViews 8 Object Ref.pdf" , to access the j-th observation of the series, using @elem(ser,j)

Code: Select all


pagecreate(page=ar1) u 4
rndseed(type=mt) 12347
genr e = 0.6*nrnd	'sig=0.6
'c(1) = @elem(e,1)	'error
c(2) = @elem(e,"2")
c(3) = @elem(e,@str(3))
c(4) = @elem(e,@otod(4))

However, the line "c(1) = @elem(e,1)" will not work, the error info says we need a string. Is it possible to support integer to retrive j-th element?

Hi,

I've not checked if the documentation is correct, it may not be, but at least you can easily work around this with the @str function.

So,

Code: Select all

c(1) = @elem(e,@str(1))

would work.

Example,

Code: Select all

for !i = 1 to @obsrange
	c(!i) = @elem(e,@str(!i))
next

The docs are wrong. It should be a string. We'll get them corrected.
