Hi,
consider this example:
<hansl>
open denmark
bundle b = _(y=LRM)
list L = const
L += genseries("L", b.y)
</hansl>
This rightly gives an error, since genseries tries to create a series
"L", where the identifier "L" is already occupied by the defined list
before. But the error message is a little opaque: "variable number -1
out of bounds".
Of course, the return value -1 just signals an error. And if this wrong
construction is executed without the bundle sauce on top of it, then
gretl also says "object type list not acceptable in this context", which
is informative. But: in the example above this additional message is not
printed out, just the out of bounds reply.
Not very important, I know, but I stumbled over it in real code.
thanks
sven
