Re: [Gretl-users] setobs using variables

Why is anzahl not a scalar? I explicitly declared it to be so.
'nulldata' makes tabula rasa, deleting all existing variables including
scalars. Append the '--preserve' option and it should work.
BTW, I noticed that the "including scalars" (and probably other variable
types) part is not reflected in the documentation which only talks about
matrices. So this is a documentation bug and the doc for nulldata should
be updated.
thanks,
