Hi, could these be strings that are not marked? lib/src/dbread.c 2401: gretl_warnmsg_sprintf("ODBC import: '%s': no valid observations in sample range", vnames[i]); lib/src/gretl_midas.c 323: gretl_warnmsg_set("The argument does not seem to be a MIDAS list"); lib/src/libset.c 599: gretl_warnmsg_set("set_omp_n_threads: OpenMP is not enabled"); lib/src/libset.c 588: gretl_errmsg_sprintf("omp_num_threads: must be >= 1 and <= %d", gretl_n_processors()); lib/src/tokenize.c 2413: gretl_warnmsg_sprintf("\"%s\": obsolete %s; please use \"%s\"", lib/src/tokenize.c 2043: gretl_errmsg_set("catch: cannot be applied to this command"); lib/src/tokenize.c 2060: gretl_errmsg_set("savename is too long"); lib/src/tokenize.c 2612: gretl_errmsg_set("'end loop': did you mean 'endloop'"); lib/src/tokenize.c 3319: gretl_errmsg_sprintf("end: invalid parameter '%s'", cmd->param); lib/src/transforms.c 1464: gretl_warnmsg_set("The argument does not seem to be a MIDAS list"); lib/src/transforms.c: 1696: gretl_errmsg_sprintf("%s: collides with existing object name", vname); lib/src/transforms.c 1753: gretl_warnmsg_set("The argument does not seem to be a MIDAS list"); If the diagnosis is correct, I could apply the changes - in these cases it's just enclosing them in _(), right? thanks sven
