2. how do I pass the parameter to deseas()? deseas(gdp) works fine, but deseas(varname(4)) doesn't (assuming varname(4)="gdp", varname returns a string and deseas doesn't work that way. I also tried looping through a list of all the variables, but the same error of erroneous argument type is brought up by deseas().

Thanks!!
