deficiency of conditional assignment (and inbundle issue)
by Sven Schreiber
Hi,
the two following constructs should be equivalent IMHO, but the second
one with the conditional assignment gives an error:
<hansl>
# 'check' really doesn't exist
if isnull(check)
scalar heyho = 0
else
scalar heyho = check
endif
scalar heyho = isnull(check) ? 0 : check
print heyho
</hansl>
And on an unrelated further note, the inbundle() function seems to
require a quoted string, as in inbundle(mybundle,"keystring"). I don't
have a big problem with that (although it seems to go a little against
gretl style), but it would be nice if it could be documented in the
function reference. Also, inbundle() currently doesn't appear in the
bundle chapter of the manual. (I know, could add it myself...)
thanks,
