Getting IBES Data in Eviews

erik.franco

In the new datastream online database. I am getting an error when trying to fetch IBES data into eviews: Date.Start is invalid/ Example date formats are 2012-11-24 (or) -4M (or) one of DSDatesNames (Date.Start)

Hi @erik.franco

We have a new version of the EDX file which you will need to install that resolves this IBES issue. if you email me directly paul.bacon@refinitiv.com i can send to you today or alternativly it will be on the download section of this site early next week.

I am not able to replicate the issue in EViews. Can you please give example instrument?

Hi Monika,

As for the IBES problem. Again this is in eviews.

Below is the code I used to fetch the data.

------------------------

wfcreate(wf = "", page = "monthly") m 2019 2019

fetch(d=datastream,c=l) @:M3WRLD(a12pe)
