Seasonal adjustment: Use of X13 in the GUI program has been restored
by Sven Schreiber
Hi everybody,
this is to inform you that unfortunately in the current release (gretl
2022a) a nasty bug crept in that makes it impossible to apply seasonal
adjustment with the (standard but external) X13-ARIMA procedure, at
least in the gretl GUI program -- that is, "normal" gretl with a window
and menus and so on.
Thanks to Ignacio for noticing and reporting this.!
The bug has already been fixed in the meantime, so current development
snapshots work as expected. But still it is quite regrettable, for
example because gretl 2022a was targeted at Ubuntu Linux 22.04, a
long-term support version, and so the bug will potentially have a long
life there.
An additional remark: One factor that led to the bug is that it is not
possible to test the GUI functionality in an automated way, in contrast
to what we can do for the scripts and commands. So that's where the
gretl user base comes in and is really needed! For example, right now
the next release will happen quite soon, so it would be very useful if
you can test the graphical gretl program more than you would do usually.
And then please report any bugs you find!
thanks

Restricted VEC. Gretl crashes
by Daniel Ventosa-Santaulària
Hi everyone,
I was estimating a VEC and I decided to include a number of restrictions. I
noted that Gretl crashes (the whole program closes) whenever I include
restrictions in the error-correction terms (the alphas). I therefore
prepared an arbitrary code to show it.
clear
open np.gdt
vecm 4 1 ngnp emply pcons money --impulse-response --silent
restrict --full
b[1] = 1
b[3] = 0
a[3] = 0
a[4] = 0
end restrict
Usually, I am able to run the code once, but definitely not twice. I am
running gretl 2022a (MS Windows (x86_64, gtk2)). I hope this bug is easy to
fix.
Cheers,
Daniel

Bundl request from dbnomics errors
by klaus.hasenbach＠web.de
Hi Allin
I very appreciate gretl with dbnomics.
I use windows 10 and normaly gretl 2021d. Making bundl request I have
very often the problem that the program fails to got to the next
request. (Please refer to the pdf attached "error with gretl 2021d".) I
help my self by executing the next request again and again until it works.
With gretl 2022a I will get a different error ("error with gretl 2022a")
and to repeat the request doest not help. (I attach the bundl test
script, which produced such errors)
Thanks

Re: Bundl request from dbnomics errors
by ESTEVEZ NUÑEZ JUAN CARLOS
It occurs to me to test if the problem arises with an also fresh update in Ubuntu.
Unfortunately, I can´t as since some days the 'make' command stops waiting for
an answer after the message ! Missing $ inserted.
(I build all the gretl updates, following appendix B of Users Guide over the last years)
Don´t know if this may be related.
Sorry, if it´s noise.

Since it ran OK for me, some other ingredients are needed, I guess.
On this machine I am using the decimal point (i.e., _not_ using the
local German settings, which would be the comma), and my username does
not contain blanks or special characters.
Klaus and Juan Carlos, what about you?
thanks

Using functions
by 66.leon＠gmail.com
Hi
I am new to Gretl so still a very basic user. From the Function Reference
help menu, I saw there is a ljungbox function. I would like to use this but
when I enter the function into the console window using the series name and
lag, nothing is returned, just a blank line. The same happens with other
functions listed under Statistical in the help menu. I have looked through
all the help menus and manuals but can't find guidance on how to run these
functions. Please provide instruction for how to use these functions.
Thanks

It is in a single-script-per-window mode.
I just downloaded the latest version (build date 2022-06-20) and it crashed just the same.

Repeatable crash
by Fred Engst
Hi Allin and others,
My gretl was crashing quite often lately when I tried to create a new script.
However only today I found the crashes were repeatable.
If I start the gretl without any dataset and try to create a new script either with the script button, or through the menu items (file->script file->new script->gretl script) it will crash on the 1st, 2nd, or 3rd try.

Repeatable crash

Hi Allin and others,
My gretl was crashing quite often lately when I tried to create a new script.
However only today I found the crashes were repeatable.

Not able to open .gretl session files in a loop
by Fred Engst
I’m sorry, Sven, but as you can see, I did start a new thread.
As I said before, I have a need to loop through quit a few .gretl files I get from my students and to find something inside each of them, for example model outputs saved in the .gretl files.
I can’t do loops with .gretl files like I do with .gdt files.
Here is a sample script:
<hansl>
string path = "/Users/fred/Documents/UIBE/22-1/ECON301/Data4Students/"
string studentnames = path ~ "names.txt"
string namesread = readfile(studentnames)
strings anames = strsplit(namesread,"\n")
loop i=1..nelem(anames)
string fname = anames[i]
dataname = "@path@fname.gretl"
open \
@dataname #--preserve --quiet
scalar incomecoeff = model_income.$coeff[2]
# do something here with what I found, for example.
endloop
</hansl>
As I tried to figure out why, instead of looping .gretl files, if I just using a script to open one of them, there is a message about: “Opening a new session file will automatically close the current session. Any unsaved work will be lost. Proceed to open session file?”
There seems to be no way to turn off this warning, so the script gets hang on this warning message.
Any suggestion?
Fred
