Re: [Gretl-devel] Error message applying the new BreitungCandelonTest function

Artur T. schrieb: First, after looking at the manual I'm not even sure anymore that the syntax "smpl startobs endobs" is supposed to support simple integer observation numbers for time series. That case doesn't seem to be explicitly mentioned. (But of course, it works, at least in the examples that I tried.) Second, I don't really know what's happening. What's your dataset, your data range, and your sample selection when you call the function? Related to that, some speculation: Maybe your sample doesn't start at the first available obs in the dataset, so when the function tries to set the startobs to 1, it's illegal for it to do so. If that were the case, I'm not sure whether it's a gretl bug or a bug in my function. (Meaning, I'm not sure whether it should be considered illegal, or whether the smpl command inside a function should be evaluated relative to the current sample.) thanks for testing! -sven
