Re: [Gretl-users] Problem with "loop for" using Gretl in Portuguese

Hi Henrique, This is the correct behavior. When you use $i, you are processing the variable as a string and then using their processed value (with decimal comma). It happens that the processed string is the same in the English run. Also did the test in French and German which use the decimal comma too. Only use the $i for showing final results, and not intermediate calculations.
