I don't think that's it. The main script sets smpl 1950 2005, then the function
sets the first sample at 1950-1977, then increments the ending date by one each time
through the loop (up to 2005). There's also a backward part that starts from 1977-2005
and decrements the beginning date down to 1950.
OK, but we still need more context -- ideally, a minimal full script
that
illustrates the problem.
Allin et al,
Attached is a copy of the script I've been working on, along with a data set. Once I
got the main program to work, I just copied the relevant parts into the function at the
top. Just uncomment the function call (and comment out the rest) to switch back &
forth.
