Thanks; does it also hold for the replace() function that Jack
pointed out?
I've lost the context with Jack for now. However, looking at the
code, and also running a simple experiment, it appears that
replace() respects the sample range. If you have evidence to the
contrary, please let me know. Example:
<hansl>
open data9-7
smpl 1981:1 1983:4
WINTER = replace(WINTER, 1, 57)
smpl full
print WINTER -o
</hansl>
(1 is replaced by 57 only within the range of the first smpl
command).
