Hi again,
as you will have guessed, I'm juggling around some panel datasets at the
moment. (BTW, the handling overall has become very nice in recent years,
thanks to string-valued series, refinements in panel time setting, and
join, etc.)
I tried the recipe from the guide described underĀ "Panel data marker
strings" in chapter 4. Instead of the given line <genr markers =
"%s:%d", marker, year> I tried a more compact thing, replacing the
"year" series with the formula "1989+time" (where "time"
exists
already). This produced no error, but gave rubbish output in the new
markers. I guess a formula expression is not allowed there, but then I
guess it should be intercepted somehow.
(The recipe as given worked OK.)
thanks
sven
