Re: [Gretl-users] smpl in a function
<snip>
I think we need more context here. Perhaps you're trying to set
the sample
range, inside the function, outside of the limits of the data as given to the
function?
E.g., if I do "smpl 1990:1 2010:4" before invoking a
function, and then
in the function we have
smpl 1989:1 ;
that's an error -- even if the dataset goes back to, say, 1980:1.
I don't think that's it. The main script sets smpl 1950 2005, then the function
sets the first sample at 1950-1977, then increments the ending date by one each time
through the loop (up to 2005). There's also a backward part that starts from 1977-2005
and decrements the beginning date down to 1950.
