Dear Allin,
Could you please help me to figure out the meaning/context of that expression:
"Can't concatenate string-valued and numeric series"
Are Gretl saying that one can not concatenate series with series whose
values represent strings?
It comes up in the context of the "append" command. And it means
that you can't append a series whose values represent strings to a
regular numeric series, or vice versa. (That is, "lengthwise",
in adding observations to an existing dataset. It's OK to add a
string-valued series as a new series, to a dataset that currently
contains only numeric series, provided the newly added series is of
a suitable length.)
This is a newly added error message, stemming from a revision of
"append", which was not doing the right thing with string-valued
series in general.
