Re: [Gretl-devel] null list as parameter

Well, you are right that wasn't the problem. The problem was
that the null list was passed to the ols command and it caused
the error. Now the point is that the error message may mislead,
and perhaps it should be changed...
Ah, there's a difference that should be resolved, between the
gretlcli output and the GUI script output.
<script>
function myfoo (series a, const list x[null])
ols a x
end function
open data4-1
myfoo(price)
</script>
Running the above with gretlcli produces:
<output>
Command has insufficient arguments
error on line 1 of function myfoo
ols a x
gretlcli: error executing script: halting
myfoo(price)
</output>
which seems to me fine. But it's true, in the GUI the error
message is not so informative.
Allin.
