I followed the instructions from the manual but I always get "First char of varname is bad (first must be alphabetical)". The names of my variables are constructed according to gretl.Do you have any suggestion of what can be the problem?

thank you for your help.

Hi everyone,

I am working on my master thesis and I have a data set in three different
excel files each on different lengths that need to me merged together. I
saved them as csv since I have some text variables but when trying the JOIN
function I always get error. I tried joining them with matching keys 2 by
2.

Is there somewhere a more detailed explanation of the join function?

Thank you for your help.

There's a whole chapter in the user's guide.
