Sorry, this command is not available in loop mode

But I am not in loop mode! And the command “nulldate” is not in the
loop!
To me, it seems that the loop is not finished when an error is
raised.
Apart from the fact that it might be helpful to provide the version
number, yes I have experienced this behavior myself in the past. My
personal term for it is some remaining "flakiness" of gretl's command
interpreter. As you suggest, I think it comes from a previous script
that was aborted due to an error inside a loop. Then gretl continues to
think that the loop hasn't ended yet.
However, I'm not sure if this is still happening with recent versions, I
think I haven't seen this recently. Again, please provide the version
you're using.
thanks,
