Actually I agree with Artur here: In gretl AFAIK any function that operates on a series is about the currently active part in-sample. Otherwise your argument could also be made for 'values', but that has the behavior that Artur expected: <hansl> open denmark eval nelem(values(LRM)) # 55 smpl +10 +0 eval nelem(values(LRM)) # 45 </hansl>
