Dear developers of gretl!

Thanks again for the wonderful software! It helps a lot both in scientific research and in educational process!

Unfortunately, I’ve discovered a problem with importing data from a CSV file to a gretl data file.

Specifically, when I try to import  daily data from a CSV file (I attach the CSV-file to this letter), I receive the following:

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

parsing D:\aapl.csv...

using delimiter ','

   longest line: 56 characters

   first field: 'date'

   seems to be observation label

   number of columns = 7

   number of variables: 6

   number of non-blank lines: 250

scanning for variable names...

   line: date,Open,High,Low,Close,Volume,AClose

scanning for row labels and data...

   first row label "014-03-25", last label "2013-04-01"

treating these as undated data

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

For some reasons gretl cuts off the first digit of the date in the “first row label” line (I stressed in red).

And thus it interprets the data as cross-sectional, not as time-series.

I’m using gretl of version 1.9.14. I tried on version 1.9.13 – the same problem.

But, on version 1.9.12 there was no such problem with importing data from the attached CSV file – I double-checked it.

Could you please give any comments on how to override the problem on version 1.9.14?

Downgrade to version 1.9.12 is not an option for me now.

Thanks,
