Dear Gretl Team,
I think I found a small error in Hansl when someone insert commas in
the end of the comment line. Please take a look at the following code
to check this.
<hansl>
open australia.gdt
list vars = dataset
lags 2 ; vars
list list1 = null # If I terminate this comment line WITH a comma,
list list2 = null # I get an error (in the following loop) saying
# list2_ati does not exist.
loop i=1..2 --quiet
list list1 = list1 || PAU_$i
loop j=1..2 --quiet
list list2 = list2 || PUS_$j
endloop
endloop
list list1 = null # If I terminate this comment line WITHOUT a comma
list list2 = null # I do not get the error saying list2 does not exist.
loop i=1..2 --quiet
list list1 = list1 || PAU_$i
loop j=1..2 --quiet
list list2 = list2 || PUS_$j
endloop
endloop
list list1 print
list list2 print
</hansl>
Also I would like to make a suggestion: In my humble opinion, the
syntax to print list elements is not so intuitive and it looks like
very different from the other uses of the "print" command. My
suggestion is use something like this:
I agree on that. I'm also in favor of the '--' method
