exclude—289
g1.errbar
display the error bar view of G1 using the X series as the high value of the bar and the Y series as the low value.
group g2 plus2se minus2se estimate
g2.errbar
display the error bar view of G2 with the PLUS2SE series as the high value of the bar, the MINUS2SE series as the low value, and ESTIMATE as a symbol.
group g1 x y
freeze(graph1) g1.line
graph1.errbar
first creates a graph object GRAPH1 containing a line graph of the series in G1, then changes the graph type to an error bar.
g1.errbar(o=midnight, w)
creates an errbar bar graph of the group G1, using the settings of the predefined template “midnight”, applying the wide modifier.

exclude |
Model Proc |
|
|
Specifies (or merges) excluded endogenous variables in the active scenario.
Syntax
Model Proc: |
model_name.exclude(options) ser1(smpl) ser2(smpl) ... |
Follow the exclude keyword with the argument list containing the endogenous variables you wish to exclude from the solution, along with an optional sample for exclusion. If a sample is not provided, the variable will be excluded for the entire solution sample.
Options
m |
Merge into instead of replace the existing exclude list. |
|
|
290—Appendix B. Command Reference
Examples
mod1.exclude fedfunds govexp("1990:01 1995:02")
will create an exclude list containing the variables FEDFUNDS and GOVEXP. FEDFUNDS will be excluded for the entire solution sample, while GOVEXP will only be excluded for the specified sample.
If you then issue the command:
mod1.exclude govexp
EViews will replace the original exclude list with one containing only GOVEXP. To add excludes to an existing list, use the “m” option:
mod1.exclude(m) fedfunds
The excluded list now contains both GOVEXP and FEDFUNDS.

exit |
Command |
|
|
Exit from EViews. Closes the EViews application.
You will be prompted to save objects and workfiles which have changed since the last time they were saved to disk. Be sure to save your workfiles, if desired, since all changes that you do not save to a disk file will be lost.
Syntax
Command: exit

Command |
|
|
Expand a workfile.
No longer supported. See the replacement command pagestruct (p. 399).
fetch—291
fetch |
Command || Pool Proc |
|
|
Fetch objects from databases or databank files into the workfile.
fetch reads one or more objects from EViews databases or databank files into the active workfile. The objects are loaded into the workfile using the object in the database or using the databank file name.
When used as a pool proc, EViews will first expand the list of series using the pool operator, and then perform the fetch.
If you fetch a series into a workfile with a different frequency, EViews will automatically apply the frequency conversion method attached to the series by setconvert. If the series does not have an attached conversion method, EViews will use the method set by Options/Date-Frequency in the main menu. You can override the conversion method by specifying an explicit conversion method option.
Syntax
Command: fetch(options) object_list
Pool Proc: |
pool_name.fetch(options) pool_ser1 [pool_ser2 pool_ser3 ...] |
The fetch command keyword is followed by a list of object names separated by spaces. The default behavior is to fetch the objects from the default database (this is a change from versions of EViews prior to EViews 3.x where the default was to fetch from individual databank files).
You can precede the object name with a database name and the double colon “::” to indicate a specific database source. If you specify the database name as an option in parentheses (see below), all objects without an explicit database prefix will be fetched from the specified database. You may optionally fetch from individual databank files or search among registered databases.
You may use wild card characters, “?” (to match a single character) or “*” (to match zero or more characters), in the object name list. All objects with names matching the pattern will be fetched.
To fetch from individual databank files that are not in the default path, you should include an explicit path. If you have more than one object with the same file name (for example, an equation and a series named CONS), then you should supply the full object file name including identifying extensions.
292—Appendix B. Command Reference
Options
d=db_name |
Fetch from specified database. |
|
|
d |
Fetch all registered databases in registry order. |
|
|
i |
Fetch from individual databank files. |
|
|
The following options are available for fetch of group objects:
g=arg |
Group fetch options: “b” (fetch both group definition |
|
and series), “d” (fetch only the series in the group), “l” |
|
(fetch only the group definition). |
|
|
The database specified by the double colon “::” takes precedence over the database specified by the “d=” option.
In addition, there are a number of options for controlling automatic frequency conversion when performing a fetch. The following options control the frequency conversion method when copying series and group objects to a workfile, converting from low to high frequency:
c=arg |
Low to high conversion methods: “r” (constant match |
|
average), “d” (constant match sum), “q” (quadratic |
|
match average), “t” (quadratic match sum), “i” (linear |
|
match last), “c” (cubic match last). |
|
|
The following options control the frequency conversion method when copying series and group objects to a workfile, converting from high to low frequency:
c=arg |
High to low conversion methods removing NAs: “a” |
|
(average of the nonmissing observations), “s” (sum of |
|
the nonmissing observations), “f” (first nonmissing |
|
observation), “l” (last nonmissing observation), “x” |
|
(maximum nonmissing observation), “m” (minimum |
|
nonmissing observation). |
|
High to low conversion methods propagating NAs: “an” |
|
or “na” (average, propagating missings), “sn” or “ns” |
|
(sum, propagating missings), “fn” or “nf” (first, propa- |
|
gating missings), “ln” or “nl” (last, propagating miss- |
|
ings), “xn” or “nx” (maximum, propagating missings), |
|
“mn” or “nm” (minimum, propagating missings). |
|
|
If no conversion method is specified, the series-specific or global default conversion method will be employed.
