Ricardo hello,

I just used here the the Gretl supplied NYSE1.gdt data set for exposition only so that I get this difference in the two software packages.
I am not working on this so this is also why no ln first differences were used.

My suspicion was that Eviews just spits out whatever sub-optimal result instead of a no convergence one.

Also: it looks as if you're using a series in levels, as opposed to log
differences, which is what you normally feed into garch models. Could you
send me your dataset? I'll have a look at it as soon as I get the chance.
