Hi,

I think I once did something similar using matrices. If my memory still holds I proceeded like this

Let's say x(1) to x(k1) are the initial variables. I created a matrix M1 with the k2 tunned data and M2 (string) with tunned series names. Then I added M2's data as (k1+1) to (k1+k2) series and finally deleted (it can be done manually or by script) the 1 to k1 initial series.

Hope it helps,

Best,

Artur

Hi,

is it possible to change the ID number of given variable via script?

Hi Marcin, I don't think so (in general, without deleting other data),
because they are contiguous numbers used for indexing. Why do you want
to do that? Series names or named lists should typically be all you
need. (in theory)

It's tough to explain, but in short: we have database with houndrets of series retrived from dbnomics, but after downloading we need to tune some of them (interpolation, filtering and so on). We want to have a tunned series next the original one, but all tunning staff we want to run after downloading the whole database. So, setting variable ID via script would help us.

I see -- I guess I would recommend to use additional datafile files ('store' command) and/or database files to group the related variables together. If in the end you want to have them all in one file, read them into a fresh file in the wanted order.

cheers

sven
