[Gretl-users] Renaming variables not allowed within a loop

I have just tried the last snapshot and I have run an old script that renames a variable within a loop Something like: loop for i = 1..j --quiet ... rename T$i @a ... end loop and I get the message "Sorry, this command is not available in loop mode" "Error executing script: halting" Using rename within a loop was allowed up to (and including) version 2016a, which leads me to question: Is it a new feature or a bug? For your information I am using gretl 64 on a windows-7 Pro machine. Otherwise the program (new snapshot) does a wonderful job. Regards, Javier Sansa
