[Gretl-devel] non-propagated missings with "^" (interaction effects with lists)

Hi, I have used the "^" trick as described in the guide to create interaction effects quickly. In particular my interaction variable is a month indicator in a monthly time series workfile. However, the resulting interaction series have valid entries where the original series had missings (beyond the latest available obs), but only where the interaction effect would be "active" (=non-zero). For example, the interaction of x with January would have a missing at obs 2016:1 but would be zero for 2016:2, although x has a missing at both of these obs. I think this is a bug. I can understand the logic of "no matter what the value, the interaction is going to be zero if the month != 1", but I think missings should always propagate. Or do we have precedents of the opposite in gretl? thanks, sven
