Re: [Gretl-devel] the same name global series and package functions

A user (incuge pkg.gfn and open filename.extension provided) encounters 2 independent namesets: the set of series names and the set of package function names. She can not control the both! In the case of same names work of series(int_lag) will be spoiled unintentionally, contrary to my examples. So, non-prohibiting solution should be found.

(Again, I think that was discussed before with the conclucsion that it's not a problem per se.) series y = sin(1) # y is described as lag of 'sin'  Good catch, this is the bug. # but # i.e. y is a constant series, its values are equal to sin(1) This is expected I'd say. BTW, here's something else: series y = normal() series y = y[-1] ...gives NAs (note the square brackets, on purpose). I think it should give an error. cheers, sven _______________________________________________ Gretl-devel mailing list Gretl-devel(a)lists.wfu.edu http://lists.wfu.edu/mailman/listinfo/gretl-devel
