Hi Sven, Thanks very much for your reply. The series which I am trying to download from the FRED database are the following:

The rest are not. I have updated the Gretl database. It looks as if the Gretl version only has US data, and this is only up to April 2025. The ideal would be able to write a script to directly address the FRED as Riccardo has suggested.
