Re: [Gretl-users] operate on all variables
Yes, it did. But it raised a few more questions...
Would it have been the same to use @i instead of $i?
As far as I understand, $i is only valid in connection with loop indexing, and @i is only
when dealing for accessing the content of string variables ("named strings"),
which are relatively recent in gretl.
While in your context "i" looks like a string variable, it doesn't have to
be, see the example from the manual:
Example 9.5: String substitution
open bea.dat
loop i=1987..2001
genr V = COMP$i
genr TC = GOC$i - PBT$i
genr C = TC - V
ols PBT$i const TC V
endloop
But I have also found this stuff confusing...
If there a way to tell the script not to stop on errors (~VBA on
error
resume next)?
"set halt_on_error off"
And why doesn't deseas() work with lists as arguments?
The problem is the naming of the members of the returned list I guess which would not be
clear.
