Thanks Glenn! - I will run it tomorrow on my eviews!
Sorry if this is a basic question (am new to programming in eviews). I have a question on the fetch function. I am pulling time series from bloomberg with the following code:
dbopen(type=bloom) currency
fetch "USSA1" "USSA2" "USSA3" etc....
Later I rename the series one at a time as some of the bloomberg names are not intuitive
series _1= USSA1
series _2 =USSA2
....
My question is how is it that command fetch takes in strings but then I can declare series with the names of those strings. Also How can i apply your code over all the series that the fetch returns without having to assign them all to a different variable (ie _1, _2 etc...)
