Re: [Gretl-users] Data Import - non-numeric values

thanks very much Allen! I'll take the advice to heart.
Fortunately
in the case where these garbage values are "created" a part of the
analysis (corresponding to these values) has not been conducted
and that is flagged (in another "non-garbage" variable), so I can
post-process these values. What are the "maximal" values gretl
takes as import? +-1e100 and +-1e-100?
Gretl accepts the judgment of the C library on numerical underflow
or overflow. On the big side we can be fairly definite: anything
less than 1.79769e308 should be fine. On the close-to-zero side
numbers greater in absolute value than 1e-308 should be OK for most
C libraries.
