[R] vector autoregression

[Konrad Banachewicz]

dear All,
I have the following problem: I need to calculate an h-step ahead forecast
from a var model (estimated with a dse1 method estVARXls), which in
turn will be used as an input for another model as conditioning data, so
I need it as a simple, numeric matrix. No exogenous input is used.
 However, the standard forecast method produces a 1-element list
that includes a forecast matrix, yet I have no clue as to how to
extract the values of interest. Featherforecast and Horizonforecast
do not allow prediction only beyond the sample period, quote:
"from.periods cannot exceed available output data".
any help will be much appreciated,

regards,

konrad
