[Gretl-devel] Function error: variable 0 is duplicated in the list of instructions

Hi everyone, Fist of all I want to say thanks to Sven and Ignacio because his suggestions about inserting a statistical table in a function have been very helpful. Now, I have some problems with my function script and I don't really understand what is actually the problem. When I trie to run my sample script, I get the following error message: "the variable 0 is duplicated in the list of instructions" Here is my function script. I ommit A and B matrices because are quite large, but everything else is there: function bundle DeWallis_test (series y "Explained variable", list xlist "Explanatory variables (Note: constant term is included by default)", bool dummy[0] "Are dummy variables included in the regression? (remember that constant is included by default)") T = $nobs list xlist = const xlist if T<16 funcerr "Insufficient observations" endif ols y xlist --quiet scalar SCE = $ess matrix uhat = $uhat scalar ut = 0 loop i = 5..T --quiet scalar ui = (uhat[i,1] - uhat[i-4,1])^2 ut = ut + ui endloop scalar DeWallis_stat = ut/SCE #A : DeWallis_stat_table_nodummy #B : DeWallis_stat_table_dummy #De Wallis test if dummy matrix xlist = xlist scalar k = cols(xlist) - 4 if k>5 funcerr "The number of regressors has to be less or equal to 5 (withot considering the constant term nor the dummy variables)" endif if k<1 funcerr "Insufficient number of regressors.
