Hi all, I stumbled over the following: <hansl> open mrw --quiet series factor = OECD + 1 # one-based strings svalues = defarray("non-oecd", "oecd") stringify(factor, svalues) series z = factor # just a copy eval getinfo(factor) # has_string_table = 1 eval getinfo(z) # has_string_table = 0 </hansl> While for series 'factor' has_string_table = 1, it is zero for the copy series 'z'. Is this as expected? Best Artur
