[Gretl-users] Re: Problem when using a list

Thanks for your report, Rigoberto! Clear and precise reports like yours, with an example script and an indication of the first release when working code got broken, make debugging much easier than it would otherwise be. I think the bug that you describe should be fixed in today's gretl snapshots. It sounds like you have a known workaround for the bug -- adding parentheses where they should not be needed -- so maybe your gretl usage is OK for now. Anyway, we'll make sure that this fix doesn't get broken before the next gretl release, 2024b.

It is necessary to include a new parenthesis in the quotient (l.$x/l.$x(-1)) (which would not be necessary) to perform the operation correctly. > > Thank you and best regards > Rigoberto Pérez _______________________________________________ Gretl-users mailing list -- gretl-users(a)gretlml.univpm.it To unsubscribe send an email to gretl-users-leave(a)gretlml.univpm.it Website: https://gretlml.univpm.it/postorius/lists/gretl-users.gretlml.univpm.it/
