LABELS and Labels
Posted: Thu Aug 08, 2013 1:28 pm
I'm writing code for repetative analysis (across 50 forecast horizons and many variables) by creating vectors of series and then labeling them.
For example
My problem is that the behavior of the new labels seem erratic.
For example
Code: Select all
DECLARE VECTOR[SERIES] GBFRCST(50)
LABELS GBFRCST
# 'GB_F_M12' 'GB_L_M12' 'GB_F_M11' 'GB_L_M11' 'GB_F_M10' 'GB_L_M10' $
'GB_F_M09' 'GB_L_M09' 'GB_F_M08' 'GB_L_M08' 'GB_F_M07' 'GB_L_M07' $
'GB_F_M06' 'GB_L_M06' 'GB_F_M05' 'GB_L_M05' 'GB_F_M04' 'GB_L_M04' $
'GB_F_M03' 'GB_L_M03' 'GB_F_M02' 'GB_L_M02' 'GB_F_M01' 'GB_L_M01' $
'GB_F__00' 'GB_L__00' 'GB_F__01' 'GB_L__01' 'GB_F__02' 'GB_L__02' $
'GB_F__03' 'GB_L__03' 'GB_F__04' 'GB_L__04' 'GB_F__05' 'GB_L__05' $
'GB_F__06' 'GB_L__06' 'GB_F__07' 'GB_L__07' 'GB_F__08' 'GB_L__08' $
'GB_F__09' 'GB_L__09' 'GB_F__10' 'GB_L__10' 'GB_F__11' 'GB_L__11' $
'GB_F__12' 'GB_L__12'- if I open the Series Window, I can see my new series as soon as I DECLARE my vector.
- However, their labels don't appear in the window until I read in some new data series.
- Similarly, graphs of series I've created with DECLARE VECTOR[SERIES] label them with the name of the vector (e.g. GBFRCST(7)) rather than the label I've carefully assigned. (e.g.GB_F_M09)
Any idea what I've overlooked?
