Re: [Gretl-users] Bug

In |Add|Define new variable| use c = 5 * const to define a constant series which is 5 everywhere.  If you want another constant series simply substitute the required value for 5. If I write c = 5 I would expect c to be defined by what is on the right hand side of the expression and this is a scalar.  5*const is a series and therefore c=5*constant defines c to be a constant.
