Hi,
on 1.7.9 and current cvs I discovered two minor glitches when I used the
supplied example data sw_ch12.gdt for teaching.
First, when I try to create a new variable referring to the lag of the
price variable PUNEW, but mistakenly change the name to lower case as in
'heyho=punew(-1)', I get an alert dialog window, but with a rather
obscure content, namely:
genr heyho=punew(
What I would expect is an error message saying something like 'unknown
variable punew'.
Next, when I construct the inflation rate as
'heyho=(PUNEW-PUNEW(-1))/PUNEW(-1)', the variable heyho is listed in the
GUI as if it were the lag of PUNEW, I mean it's not immediately visible,
but the little triangle appears before PUNEW and when you click it you
get to see 'heyho' with the variable ID being indented.
cheers,
sven
