Hi,
There appears to be a strange error related to the function package
GUI in *Package: yahoo_get 3.9 (2026-01-20)* for *gretl 2026a*.
When I run the following script, everything works correctly:
nulldata 1000 setobs 5 2022-06-01 # a daily dataset should already be
in place delete index series apple = yahoo_price("aapl") # get Apple,
adjusted price only list L = yahoo_full("msft")
However, when I access the same functionality through the GUI (as
shown in the attached file), I receive the error message:
*"Argument 1 (ticker) is missing."*
I conducted quick tests on versions *2025a* and *2025b*, and no such
error occurred.
However, version *2025c* also produces the same error message:
*"Argument 1 (ticker) is missing."*
Is there something changed since the version 2025c?
best regards,
Yi-Nung

I just tried gretl 2025b and gretl 2026c and the GUI to yahoo_full seem
to work ok with both, on my windows 10 VM. Just to be on the same page:
are you using windows 10? windows 11? Are you using the standard exe
installer or the arm64 version?
