Estimating series with different datings produces an error but no warnings

[jimarin]

Hi list,

I tried to make a simple model with Estimate and by error I just put an output
series in Daily and inputs in Weekly.

I received an error from the Estimate routine:

This is somewhat obscure...the analyst must find out that she or he was specifying
something wrongly so the objective function could not be evaluated, perhaps due
to unknown values in a series that come from a strange dating...(at least I put
everything in Weekly and it worked).

I think it would have been better to have received a warning about the different

datings of the time series involved.

thanks to all

cheers

An error message will be displayed when dating of input and output series were
incompatible or bad defined.
