244—Chapter 8. Series Links For example, suppose that we open a workfile containing the state and individual pages. Here we see the individual page containing the state TAXRATE data linked into the link series TAXRATE2. From the (colored) series icon, we see that TAXRATE2 is a link of a numeric series. If the TAXRATE2 link is not in use, the link series contains no values and takes up no memory. Links are placed in use either by opening the link window, by placing the link in a group object, or by using the link in a series expression. Whenever the link comes into use, or one of the link components is changed, the link is evaluated, and its values updated as necessary. For example, if we double click on the TAXRATE2 icon, we open a standard series spreadsheet view. At this point, EViews evaluates the link, performing the match merge operation, and assigning the values to the TAXRATE2 link. Note that the “Last updated” line will show the time that the link values were evaluated. All of the menus and toolbars are those found in ordinary series—you may work with this link as though it were any ordinary series. Indeed, the only hint you will have that TAXRATE2 is not an ordinary series or alpha series is in the titlebar, which will indicate that we are working with a link object. For example, if you select View/One-way tabulation... uncheck the grouping settings, and click on OK to continue, EViews will display a frequency tabulation of the contents of the link, just as it would for an ordinary series.
