I attach a zipped minimal version, in which the source line has been replaced by the explicit R function which I use to retrieve the data. You will see that the initial dataset contains three string series in which the first variable SLIST is a list of variables to be downloaded from the FRED database. I have reduced this to three, and taken out other irrelevant material in the script. The datafile from which the script reads the variables is in the directory test/data. > > As I mentioned this script works perfectly on a Mac with Gretl 2025b but fails in Ubuntu 24.04 with Gretl 2023c. > > I hope this gives the necessary information. It does indeed, thanks! I find that your test script runs fine, both with current gretl and with gretl 2023c as built today from the historic sources using current gcc. I'm afraid I'm not in a position to test with the original Debian build of 2023c, but actually there wouldn't be much point in that since there's nothing we can do to fix a release from two years ago, even if we could replicate a problem and figure out its cause. Anyway, I hope that Jack's new hansl code does what you need.
