The EViews 6 documentation is divided into three volumes. The first two User’s Guide volumes
provide basic documentation on using EViews. User’s Guide I, describes EViews fundamentals
and describes using EViews to perform basic data analysis and display. The
second volume, User’s Guide II, offers a description of EViews’ statistical and estimation features.
The Command Reference offers details on specific commands and functions.

This first volume, User’s Guide I, is divided into three distinct parts:

perform basic analysis of data and to draw graphs and create tables describing your
data.
• Part III. “Commands and Programming,” beginning on page 575 discusses the basics
of working with EViews objects and commands. Among the topics considered are the
use of strings and dates in EViews, the customization of graphs and tables using commands,
and the basics of the EViews programming language.
