Hi Allin
the script worked fine. I think he issue was that I was hoping to get the shaded area to apply to pre-forecast fitted values as well as the post estimation sample estimates, which was why it was unwilling to offer a shaded area but would give only error bars.  If I shorten my estimation period to leave to reserve years for the  forecast, the the shaded area is graphed for the post estimation sample predicted values.
Problem solved.
Thanks

The "range bars" only situation is supposed to arise when only a
single forecast is possible. Could you try running the following
script and see what you get in the forecast dialog, please?

nulldata 50
set seed 654321
setobs 1 1975 --time
series u = normal()
series y = 5
y = 0.5*y(-1) + u + 0.2*u(-1)
smpl ; 2012
arma 1 1 ; y -w
