STORE writes microTSP-format (or EViews format) databank files.
STORE <list of series> ;
STORE <drive letter>:<series name> ......; (PC version only)
where drive letter is A, B, C, D, etc.
Usage
MicroTSP-format databank files may be useful for transferring data between microTSP and TSP. They are plain (editable, non-binary) files containing comments, frequency, starting and ending dates, and data values (one per line). See the microTSP documentation for details. They are not efficient in terms of disk space usage or the time required to read or write them. However, they are easy to edit, for manual data revision. TSP does not support the use of complex path names such as C:\foo\ser on the PC (if the data are in the same directory as your program, or in the working directory for interactive use, this should not be a problem). To move regular TSP databanks between machines, use the DBCOPY command. However, spreadsheet files are usually the easiest way to exchange small or medium-sized datasets between different programs.
When STORE writes to an existing file, it preserves any existing comments and always writes the current date. Only time series may be stored -- matrices, parameters, etc. can only be stored on regular TSP databanks.
The FETCH command reads files created by STORE.
STORE X Y;
writes the series X and Y to the files X.DB and Y.DB.
