That's realy great that you found a way to increase the speed of
the planned version of dbnomics 0.41. I will be very curious to
run it!
I hope it works for you.
Concerning the raised issue of data
ECB/IRS/M.IT.L.L40.CI.0000.EUR.N.Z
I reconized that I wrote the sequence of the opening comands totaly
wrong. See my comment below.
The order of the commands doesn't matter so long as "open dbnomics"
comes before a "data ..." command. I used "clear" in my examples
only to emphasize the point, "I'm starting from scratch here". It's
not really necessary since "nulldata" clears the gretl workspace
by itself.
Here's your variant of the ECB series download:
open dbnomics
nulldata 112
setobs 4 1993.1
data ECB/IRS/M.IT.L.L40.CI.0000.EUR.N.Z
That too works fine for me with current gretl git/snapshot and
dbnomics 0.41. OK, that's on Linux, but I don't think there should
be any difference by platform.
However, it's possible that some changes since the 2021a release may
be helpful in this context. If you're able to test with a current
snapshot that would be great. If not, that's OK; I can rebuild 2021a
for testing.
