Re: [Gretl-users] Data format

Thank you for your answers.
The data format is not persistent. Sometimes the data is imported with one
decimal place but usually the data is without decimal places (at least with
the view data menu).
If I understand when you display the data you get only integers but the
calculations in Gretl are done with all the decimal places?
Obviously Raul is confused about what happens to the data on import.
Maybe something should be changed in the "view data" window to avoid
this kind of confusion, assuming he is representative of some fraction
of the user base.
For example, in the header next to the variable name something like
"showing x decimal places" could be printed. (This is not a definitive
suggestion, just an example.)
cheers,
