Re: [Gretl-users] Passing a list of series to a function
Thanks Jack,
This is not quite the problem I am having.
string ddat = varname(lstDIV[1])
works fine. lstDIV[1] returns the series ID # of the
first element on lstDIV. So I have no problem getting the name of the
series. I am having trouble getting series within the scope of the
function. I can approach the problem another way, namely by using
bundles, but I was hoping to keep this function as simple as possible.
What I am doing is passing a list of series to be included in a
multiplot figure.
Oh, I see what you mean now. Here's a minimal modification to your
function that should work.
<hansl>
function void dplot(list lstDIV, string filetype,
string strTitle[null], string strDisc[null])
string ddat = varname(lstDIV[1])
sprintf send "%s", date(firstobs(lstDIV.@ddat))
printf "%s\n", send
end function
</hansl>
Be sure to have a look at the "List arguments" subsection in section 11.4
of the User's Guide.
