Re: [Gretl-users] About "setinfo" within a user defined function

I found a possible (though minor) bug about setinfo within a user defined function. Once a variable was generated in a user's function with a description set by common "setinfo," the "setinfo" command will not work since the description of the corresponding variable will not be CORRECTLY replaced. See for example in the following script, the description of z is always "myVariable=2" no matter what param is given. Thanks Yi-Nung <script> function list myf(series y,scalar param) sprintf sInfo "%s ver= %d",argname(y),1 series z=y*10 setinfo z -d @sInfo sprintf sInfo "%s=%d",argname(y),param series z=y*10 setinfo z -d @sInfo list retlist=z return retlist end function nulldata 10 setobs 1 1 --time-series series myVariable=normal() list mylist=myf(myVariable,2) list mylist=myf(myVariable,1) </script>
