[Gretl-users] Problem with comment lines

Dear Gretl Team, I think I found a small error in Hansl when someone insert commas in the end of the comment line. Please take a look at the following code to check this. <hansl> open australia.gdt list vars = dataset lags 2 ; vars list list1 = null # If I terminate this comment line WITH a comma, list list2 = null # I get an error (in the following loop) saying # list2_ati does not exist. loop i=1..2 --quiet list list1 = list1 || PAU_$i loop j=1..2 --quiet list list2 = list2 || PUS_$j endloop endloop list list1 = null # If I terminate this comment line WITHOUT a comma list list2 = null # I do not get the error saying list2 does not exist. loop i=1..2 --quiet list list1 = list1 || PAU_$i loop j=1..2 --quiet list list2 = list2 || PUS_$j endloop endloop list list1 print list list2 print </hansl> Also I would like to make a suggestion: In my humble opinion, the syntax to print list elements is not so intuitive and it looks like very different from the other uses of the "print" command. My suggestion is use something like this: print list1 --names or print list1 --varnames Best regards, Henrique Andrade
