Dear Ox Users,

Please find a beginner's question below.

Recently I wrote an ox code to estimate an ADF equation for three
variables. But I have to write the same code three times for each of the
variables; only changing the name of the variable in each code.

Then I wondered if I could write on program to estimate the ADF equation
for all the three variables, for efficiency. This landed me in a difficult
territory.
First, I wrote a program to open the three variables, with their respective
names and values (see attached file called asNamesFile1). However, I cannot
proceed to run the ADF equation for each variable after reading them.
Second, I wrote a program to read the data using #import <database>. In the
program I read the each variable, then select dependent variable and
regressors for each, and then call the regression function. The problem is
that the regression function estimates the ADF equation 9 times instead of
3 times (see attached file called asNamesFile2).

Can someone please assist.

Thanks,
Lexi
