[Gretl-devel] $depvar not a series?

Ok now I'm really confused: (this is with the denmark.gdt dataset again) <hansl> ols LRM const LRY IBO eval $depvar # gives LRM series s1 = $depvar # wrong datatype error!? </hansl> The doc says that the $depvar accessor returns a string, alright. But in gretl's world a string ('LRM' here) would always be valid as an identifier, no? (In the past I have grumbled about the sometimes fuzzy treatment of strings and string literals in hansl/gretl, and it seems to strike back here??) Another consequence of this behavior is that the following also doesn't work: <hansl> function void checkdepvar (series y) print y end function ols LRM LRY checkdepvar($depvar) # (error: wrong argument type, is string should be series) </hansl> thanks, sven
