Re: [Gretl-users] operate on all variables
Hi Patricio,
list mylist = dataset
loop foreach i mylist
series sa_$i = deseas($i)
end loop
should work for your first question.
If I understand correctly, it may even solve the second one?
cheers,
sven

Betreff: [Gretl-users] operate on all variables
Hello. I'm new to gretl and I'm trying to create a simple
script that
will,
for instance, seasonally adjust all variables. And I've run into troubles.
So...
1. how do I generate variable *variable names* to genr? for instance, I
want
to call each detrended variable "sa_" & the original variable name
2. how do I pass the parameter to deseas()? deseas(gdp) works fine, but
deseas(varname(4)) doesn't (assuming varname(4)="gdp", varname returns a
string and deseas doesn't work that way. I also tried looping through a
list
of all the variables, but the same error of erroneous argument type is
brought up by deseas().
Thanks!!
