That now generates an error message. However, there are other ways of doing what you want. 1) Just do "setobs ID year --panel" once, right after opening your dataset. Your subsequent sample restrictions do not destroy the panel structure, since they just involve removing (all countries for certain years) or (all years for certain countries). 2) If you want a "really" smaller dataset, then i) Apply all your restrictions. ii) Save the reduced dataset ("store") iii) Open the reduced dataset and do setobs ID year --panel Allin
