But they cannot be referenced by their outer names within the function, you have to use the List.$i syntax. Here's an example: <hansl> function void argnames (list L)   loop foreach i L     series x$i = L.$i(-1)     print x$i   endloop end function open denmark rename LRY sin # try to cause trouble! list X = LRM sin argnames(X) </hansl> Inside argnames() we're able to take a lag of the series known as "sin" in main without a problem.
