[Gretl-devel] Ignacio's tramo script

[Ignacio Díaz-Emparanza]

I was trying to debug my script and I am surprised that even this simple 
script gives an error now:

---------
function tramolin(list xlist, scalar year, scalar startp)
genr ser = time
#! cmd /c "del /Q tmp_descript"
# list retlist = null
# scalar nobser = $nobs
end function
open data9-9
list xlist2 = nocars Y pop
list adjlist = tramolin(xlist, 1976, 1)
-------

The results I obtain are:

---------
gretl version 1.6.0
Current session: 2007/01/25 10:20
? function tramolin(list xlist, scalar year, scalar startp)
> genr ser = time
> #! cmd /c "del /Q tmp_descript"
> # list retlist = null
> # scalar nobser = $nobs
> end function
? open data9-9

Read datafile C:\Archivos de programa\gretl\data\data9-9.gdt
periodicity: 4, maxobs: 60,
observations range: 1976:1-1990:4

Listing 7 variables:
  0) const      1) nocars     2) pop        3) Y          4) price    
  5) primert    6) unemp    

? list xlist = nocars Y pop
Added list 'xlist'
? list adjlist = tramolin(xlist, 1976, 1)
Data types not conformable for operation

Error executing script: halting
> list adjlist = tramolin(xlist, 1976, 1)
