Re: [Gretl-users] genr, vs scalar and series

What is the preferred use of these in hansl? I've started using

all scalar computations (but in any old code I used genr); sometimes I use
series instead of genr to generate new variables. I do realize that series
will generate a series from a scalar.
These days, the recommendation is to use the type-name ("scalar",
"series" or whatever) when creating a new variable. There has been
some talk of getting rid of "genr" as a command word, and while
that's not slated just yet it's probably a good idea to avoid it.
