I am sorry tho ask help. Before asking here i studied the newest

I am surely making a trivial mistake using "join" command but i am
unable to bypass it by myself.
No, it's not your mistake. It's just that to get "join" to add data
from a gretl datafile (.gdt) you'll have to use a current gretl
snapshot (of what will become gretl 1.10). In gretl 1.9.92 and
earlier, only delimited text ("csv") files are accepted by the join
command.
