It's tough to explain, but in short: we have database with houndrets
of series retrived from dbnomics, but after downloading we need to
tune some of them (interpolation, filtering and so on). We want to
have a tunned series next the original one, but all tunning staff we
want to run _after_ downloading the whole database. So, setting
variable ID via script would help us.
I see -- I guess I would recommend to use additional datafile files
('store' command) and/or database files to group the related variables
together. If in the end you want to have them all in one file, read them
into a fresh file in the wanted order.
