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?
