I see that in yahoo_get 'amth' is a string that's defined if and only if the data are quarterly or monthly. And then the usage of 'amth' in setting desc_s is conditional on the dataset not being daily. So I guess what you're seeing would result if your dataset is not quarterly, not monthly, and not daily.

Either the conditionality for referencing 'amth' should be ($pd == 4 || $pd ==12) -- not that the data are not daily -- or else, if the weekly frequency is not supported, that should be made explicit.

The new version of the paxkage (3.10) is now available for download. The yahoo_price() function should work correctly in weekly datasets too. Testing would be appreciated! 🙂 ________________________________ From: Riccardo (Jack) Lucchetti <p002264(a)staff.univpm.it&gt; Sent: Friday, 09 October 2026 01:32:40 To: gretl-users(a)gretlml.univpm.it <gretl-users(a)gretlml.univpm.it&gt; Subject: [Gretl-users] Re: yahoo_get error On 08/10/2026 22:07, Cottrell, Allin wrote: I'm working on a revised version of the package that should handle weekly datasets correctly. ------------------------------------------------------- Riccardo (Jack) Lucchetti Dipartimento di Scienze Economiche e Sociali (DiSES) Università Politecnica delle Marche (formerly known as Università di Ancona) r.lucchetti(a)univpm.it http://www2.econ.univpm.it/servizi/hpp/lucchetti ------------------------------------------------------- _______________________________________________ Gretl-users mailing list -- gretl-users(a)gretlml.univpm.it To unsubscribe send an email to gretl-users-leave(a)gretlml.univpm.it Website: https://gretlml.univpm.it/postorius/lists/gretl-users.gretlml.univpm.it/
