Sorry, I wasn't so precise in saying "length": as a matter of fact you have to specify two integers separated by a space where the first entry being the starting period and the second one the final period. As for your second question, yes, an empty cell means no restrictions.
Sorry for being always late in replying. In BEAR you can pass your model as an Excel file, where in each sheet some information are provided such as data, type of BVAR to use, parameter priors and so on. As concerns restrictions, you can use two additional sheets, in the former there are the zero or sign restrictions placed inside a k x k table, where k is the # of variables. The latter should have the same structure with the same table, where instead of having restrictions it has the length.
Sorry, I didn't ...I'll have a look in the next week. As a matter of fact, I'll probably work with a colleague of mine who uses BEAR, so I can ask him too.
Good question! I'll investigate and let you know!
I mean the second alternative, that is the whole file path: in this way, it could be possible to specify various kind of restrictions not limited to numerical ones. For example, suppose to have a .csv like the following one: +,+ -, + or something like +, + -, 0 these will reproduce sign or mixed restrictions. I know that this will imply major changes with the functions but maybe it 's worth thinking about it since flexibility would be improved (I hope so XD).
I wonder if it could be possible to use external files to enforce identification schemes: I'm taking the example of Matlab BEAR, here the user can provide zero-sign restrictions via Excel tables. Maybe is it possible to do a similar thing in gretl? Maybe with .csv or .txt files?

Something weird just happened…I’ve downloaded the new snapshot and now opening that problematic .dta file doesn’t trigger the crash anymore…it works fine. Should I attach the gretlcli report?

If Luca (or someone else) could re-try opening the file with gretlcli, hopefully we'll learn some more about where...
