[Gretl-users] Retrieve day of easterday() as proper integer

Hi all, I've stumbled over this weird thing trying to retrieve the day of Easter Sunday applying the easterday() function as shown in the help text. However, it seems that scalar "d" is not a proper integer as trying to restrict the sample to a single day fails with the error message "No observations would be left!". Replacing "d" in the "smpl" command by 5 works though. This is using latest git on Ubuntu 19.10. <hansl> clear set verbose off nulldata 200 setobs 7 2015-01-01 --time-series series year, month, day isoconv($obsdate, &year, &month, &day) scalar e = easterday(2015) scalar m = floor(e) scalar d = 100*(e-m) print e m d smpl year == 2015 && month == m --restrict printf "worked\n" # fails as 'd' seems to be no proper integer value smpl year == 2015 && month == m && day == d --restrict </hansl> Best, Artur
