[Gretl-users] Re: Gretl dropping out when adding a new variable

OK, got it. And then you're using the GUI data-editor to input values for the new variable? I've tried that with your dataset on Linux and couldn't provoke a problem, but then I tried on Windows 11 and indeed I could provoke a crash. The GUI data-editor seems to be flaky on Windows. I'll investigate further. As a workaround, you could enter values for 2010-2024 like this, via the console: # add a empty series series newvar # set the sample range smpl 2010 2024 newvar = {1.2, 2.3,...,15.6}' The {...} construction gives you a vector in which you can specify15 values, and the trailing apostrophe makes it a column vector, suitable for inserting as the "newvar" values for the 15 observations in the sample.

That failed. Gret closed with no error message or warning. Reset Sample to 2010-2024. Add New Variable still crashed the restarted and reloaded dataset in Gretl after 2 entries. >> > Data numeric 2 decimal places. >> > >> > Datafile attached. >> >> Thanks, Brian.

Do you mean "Data/Add observations" or "Add/Define new >> variable"? _______________________________________________ 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/
