Re: [Gretl-users] smpl in a function

I don't think that's it. The main script sets smpl 1950 2005, then the function sets the first sample at 1950-1977, then increments the ending date by one each time through the loop (up to 2005). There's also a backward part that starts from 1977-2005 and decrements the beginning date down to 1950.
