I understand; my point is that these limitations are not obvious to the
user. I believe that from reading the manual and other documentation the
impression is that the time dimension of panel data would be equivalent
to the time series case.

I wasn't explicit about "strange", but I certainly didn't just get
that
message which would be self-explanatory. Instead I got a sequence of
about ten very weird and seemingly unrelated messages. I'll see if I can
replicate them.
OK, thanks. I just tried in German and got (when trying to use
$obsmicro with a panel):
Dieser Befehl wird mit der aktuellen Periodizität nicht
funktionieren
So I'm not sure when the "strange" messages are coming from.
