Thanks, Artur. That's now fixed in git.
Great, thank you for the quick fix, Allin.
Just one question for clarification. Running the following yields an --
at least for me -- unexpected behaviour where series foo results in a
constant ("Entry_c") even though S[i] is different for each i.
<hansl>
nulldata 14000
series foo = 1 # SET to 1
strings S = array($nobs)
loop i=1..$nobs -q
S[$i] = sprintf("Entry_%d", $i)
endloop
stringify(foo,S)
print S # results in "Entry_1" for all obs
series foo = 2 # SET to 2
strings S = array($nobs)
loop i=1..$nobs -q
S[$i] = sprintf("Entry_%d", $i)
endloop
print S # results in "Entry_2" for all obs
</hansl>
Best,
Artur
