[Gretl-users] Using a generated dummy in following estimations

[Antonello Lobianco]

Hello all.. following the reference manual I generated a dummy
variable for year 1992 (1992=1, 0 elsewhere) with command:
genr tpD92 = (obs=1992)

The dummy is created without problems and I can see it.. however when
I try to use the new serie in estimations (hsk) I receive an error
"Not numerical value in a calculation".. why?? Is "1" treated as
integer instead of a numerical value?? If that is the case, how can I
convert the dummy serie in a "normal" serie ?
Up ot now I was using exogenously-loaded dummy variables, but let them
beeing generated by gretl would be faster...

thanks,
   Antonello
