Re: [Gretl-users] how to match observations with 'join' and gdt files

A workaround is to add a suitable tkey column to the join source file:
I was also thinking whether it's possible to work around the non-feature
without actually having to change the file from which to import.
Perhaps something like this:
<hansl-untested>
open outerfile.gdt
string outerstart = obslabel($t1)
length = $nobs
nulldata 100 --preserve
setobs 4 2000:1
startnum = obsnum(outerstart)
endnum = startnum + length - 1
smpl startnum endnum
join outerfile.gdt x
