When running some script files, the gretl is shutting down . I am runing the 2023b
version.
This happens when connected to the dbnomics database
A sample of the script file is shown below.
clear --dataset
open dbnomics
data Eurostat/ei_bsin_m_r2/M.BAL.BS-ICI.SA.EL --name="esi_indu" # esi
industry
[and so on]
As Artur noted, there was an error here, in that the identifier for
this series has changed at dbnomics, so gretl was unable to get any
data.
However, there was also a bug in gretl's reaction to this error
condition, which could cause a crash. That's now fixed in git and new
snapshots will be available before long.
