writing descriptions and remarks of series in program

[neptunhiker]

Hi everyone,

is there a way to assign descriptions and remarks to already existing series in a program? Let's say I have a series called mytest. I would like to add a description and a remark in the label section of the series. I know how to do it manually, but since I have got many series, I would like to do that within a program. How would I add "This is my description" in the description field of the series.Then, how would I add "This is the first line of the remark" in the first line of the remarks field and "This is the second line of the remark" in the second line of the remarks field of my series?

Thanks a lot.

Code: Select all

series.setattr(description) my description series.setattr(remarks) my remarks

I guess that's a new eViews 8 feature? I am still working with version 7 and can't seem to get it to work.

I just found out, that it is possible to access the description in eViews 7 with

Code: Select all

series.label(d) text ' description series.label(r) text ' remarks series.label(r) text ' remarks (another line) series.label(s) text ' source series.label(u) text ' units series.displayname text ' display name
