Re: [Gretl-users] Manipulating a database
Dear Allin,
this email is to let you know that your inp script works perfectly. After
nearly two hours of computing we get the database in the right way (now it
has 360 Mb!). It was not necessary to change a word from the script!
My coauthor Fernando and I are very grateful for you help, your time an
dedication in building the script. We will acknowledge your help, and that
of the Gretl community in our research papers. The greatness of Gretl, which
is itself a great program, is the people behind it.
So again, our greatest appreciation for your time and dedication but not
only this time, because Gretl is an enduring project.
Best regards from Uruguay,
Leandro

Ah, I see that I left one date "hard-wired". To make it fully
general you can change the line under the comment "# starting row
for current price":
from:
k = s0 + store_days(2007, 3, prevyear, prevmonth) \
+ start
to:
k = s0 + store_days(limits[1], limits[2], prevyear, prevmonth) \
+ start
