Re: [Gretl-users] Gretl crashed after append

[Hélio Guilherme]

You found another bug ;).

(my comments should be validated by Allin or Jack)

h1 - The append command used from within the function causes the crash
(there are some restrictions to access the dataset). The crash should not
occur but some error message should be displayed.
h2 - There is a data frequency mismatch caused by the setobs command. The
append command is aborted when called from main script producing a proper
error message, but crashed when called from within the function.

Attached is the modified script file. Using CVS build 1.10 in Linux. I
changed the filename to match capitalized names.

This is the Linux shell output:
[helio(a)localhost gretl]$ gretl -e elimThousSep.inp &
[1] 11101
[helio(a)localhost gretl]$ S[0] = '2015-01-29', ed1 = 735640
guessed daily pd = 5
check_daily_dates: data are reversed?
check_daily_dates: daily pd = 5, reversed = 1, err = 0
+++ outfile --close: ignoring redundant filename
S[0] = '2015-01-30', ed1 = 735641
guessed daily pd = 5
check_daily_dates: data are reversed?
check_daily_dates: daily pd = 5, reversed = 1, err = 0
merge_data: opt=0

addobs (1) = 0
addobs (2) = 0

Hi,

 

as Jack suggested, I started learning Hansl.

 

I tried to implement a download from the website ariva.de which offers data on all sorts of securities (stocks, funds, etc.) traded in Germany. While the download is fine, getting the files into Gretl proved hard. The hansl file “elimThousSep.inp” contains the following line near the end:

 

    append @strFile

 

This makes Gretl crash. It has something to do with the prior “open” command (second last line of code) because without, there is no crash.

 

I attach the file together with an additional small include (arivaTickers.inp) and the csv file. Gretl version is 1.9.92 on a Windows PC.

 

Thanks for your help!
