Thanks for your work, @svetosch. Yes, that's a good starting point. What do you think of making it part of the PanelTools package (https://github.com/atecon/paneltools) and add a GUI hook for the extended panel-plot functionality?
I've added a unit-test to the gretl repo. This ticket can be closed as the original problem (and some others) are resolved.

I was aware of the single semicolon case but not about the double semicolon one. Thanks, I am going to add this as a note.
That's not my point -- sorry for not being more clear. I know that it fails due to an not-up-to-date gretl version here. I just try to understand what actually happens here smpl ; ;. I think I am asking what the double semicolon actually means? Thanks
Hi @svetosch, I can do so. But I do not understand exactly what's tested here. When I run the script I get the error: ? smpl ; ;a = "aha" Parse error at unexpected token ';' Error executing script: halting > smpl ; ;a = "aha" Is the test about whether Gretl allows the syntax smpl ; ; as a valid way to specify the full sample? Does the error suggest that Gretl's parser does not accept this syntax, possibly due to the way semicolons are handled or expected in the command? I would like to add a brief...
Thank you, @allin. It works nicely: I've tested my as well as Sven's examples above. All work as expected! Artur
