Locale is es-AR. I use gretl (and most software) in english because it's easier to use the documentation without having to mentally translate everything between the refereence files/a post on the list and the interface.

What platform and what LANG setting?  It looks odd that you have
the program running in English yet are using ',' as decimal
separator.

I can't reproduce the error, running gretl in various languages.
The intended behavior, which I'm seeing here, is that the decimal
character must always be '.' in script input,
 
the script I pasted in the previous email shows that the '0.1' input in the script is interpreted as zero by gretl unless the set force_decpoint on is used.
 
but the output will
respect the locale decimal character, if that option is chosen
under Preferences.
