Re: [Gretl-users] dummify with list and script output window

Anyway, here's a run-through of the points you made: I can't replicate this. Here the following works fine: <hansl> bundle b b["foo"] = 6 print b b = null print b </hansl> Inside a function, smpl --full only restores the sample range that was given by the caller. That is, it undoes any restriction on the sample range that was set inside the function, but not one set outside. The following illustrates the actual (and intended) behavior: <hansl> function void foo (series y) print y -o smpl +3 ; print y -o smpl full print y -o end function open data4-1 smpl 3 14 foo(price) </hansl> Confirmed. There's an attempt at fixing that in CVS and today's snapshot. Should work for matrices and bundles. The scalars window may still need fixing. It's not supposed to work: "series" is not mentioned among the supported types for "delete --type=<typename>" in the help, and that is by design; you're not allowed to empty a dataset. But note that you can delete many series at once by using wildcards: <hansl> nulldata 20 loop i=1..10 series x$i = normal() endloop varlist delete x* varlist </hansl> Confirmed, and now fixed in CVS and snapshots.
