problem solved. if one adjusts in r the time span the way i did it, r really only has data available for this time span. to the opposite in eviews. if one sets in eviews a time span via adjusting the sample size, it still uses the observations outside the sample size i.e. in cointegrationn tests where lags are used the lags for the first observations are taken from outside the sample size.
