Can the descriptive label of a series (1) be set in a script and (2) be accessed through a
script?
Thanks

On (a) yes, see the "setinfo" command. On (b) you have the "labels"
command to print the labels. To get an existing label as a string
variable you'd have to print it to file and read it back.

In that case, an one create an array of strings that could be accessed from a loop similar
to a matrix? Also I had some trouble with labels. Should its argument be a list, a
variable name or a series ID number?
Thanks

Gretl does not at present support arrays of strings as such. We may
add that type, but in the meantime it's possible to "fake" a strings
array using a long string, a chosen separator and the
string-handling functions such as strstr(), sscanf() and strsplit().

list, a variable name or a series ID number?
Yes.

Couldn't one use a gretl "bundle" of strings for this?

Yes, good thinking.
