hey, thanks for responding, but I'm still getting the 'error evaluating if', even when I replace all '=' with '=='.   Any chance you could type the basic code exactly how it should look? -david

Dear Gretl community,

I keep getting errors on my if statements.? The program responds "error evaluating if", as if it doesn't recognize the command, yet turns red when i type it.?

Here's the code I am using:

if state=13
??? delta=.38
elif state=16
??? delta=.35
elif state=31
??? delta=.30
elif state=84
??? delta=.26
else delta=0
endif

I've been over the syntax in the user manuals and cannot understand what I am doing wrong.? Any insights on this issue are greatly appreciated.? Thanks.?

Use comparison '==' and not the assignment symbol '=' in the if clause.
