Block significance and causality tests

hi everybody
It is likely that, when a VAR includes many lags of variables, it will be difficult to see which sets of variables have significant effects on each dependent variable and which do not. In order to address this issue, tests are usually conducted that restrict all of the lags of a particular variable to zero.
i know thant i can do this with "system object" but i lose the options of "VAR object".
it's useful to add an option "restrict VAR" in VAR object.
