If time series were a weak side (n'est-ce pas ;-)) then the program should be called grel instead but it's gretl! One can enter dates as labels/markers for the whole data set or one splits dates up and creates several series as part of the data set.

It is a weak side in Gretl. It should be a function of enter any date to the system. Any statistic software has function to create date variables as well as create character variables. Collecting data is depends on measuring observations time. It is not difficult to add creating date function as well as creating character variables.   Thanks   Nabil Brandl http://nabilnabil.homestead.com       _______________________________________________ Gretl-users mailing list gretl-us...@lists.wfu.edu http://lists.wfu.edu/mailman/listinfo/gretl-users
