Andreas, Unlike gauss or matlab, gretl doesn't print a variable if you just type the name. Try 'print beta' instead. hth, PS ________________________________________ From: gretl-users-bounces(a)lists.wfu.edu [gretl-users-bounces(a)lists.wfu.edu] On Behalf Of Andreas Noack Jensen [andreas.noack.jensen(a)econ.ku.dk] Sent: Monday, March 08, 2010 6:02 PM To: gretl-users(a)lists.wfu.edu Subject: [Gretl-users] Command not recognized Dear users So here is my first mail to the list. I am testing different bootstrap methods in a cointegrated VAR. The main focus is on determining the cointegration rank under arch effects or SV so my first question is, if it is possible to modify coint2 so an accessor variable can be used to extract the test statistic. Right now I have just programmed the test statistic calculation myself. However, in the bootstrap loop I get an error saying command 'beta' not recognized ? I think my code is okay but it of course always possible that I have missed something. The weird thing is the following. If I try to assign a zero matrix to beta in the console I get the this ? beta = zeros(3,3) Generated matrix beta ? beta command 'beta' not recognized ? I am able to assign a scalar value to beta without problems, but I need to reload the data to use beta again for a matrix. Any ideas? A bug or where am I failing?

Maybe I was a bit unclear before. There is more code, but I only included the error and an explanation of the code. I have been able to isolate the problem so I now can deliver a self contained example: ? function void tmpfunc(matrix *tmp1) > tmp1 = null > end function
