Data range

Hello,

I have a monthly data set that encompasses roughly 3200 observations. However, only certain data range are of interest to me. When specifiying the sample range, I run into the problem that eviews doesn't consider all date pairs. Is there a maximum number of data pairs that the sample command can manage?

The command I use is

sample sample_name date pairs

Thank you very much in advance!

After you say

Code: Select all

sample sample_name date pairs
follow it up with

Code: Select all

smpl sample_name
