I finally found the place in gretl_panel.c where it says: /* FIXME sub-sampled dataset (needs to be disallowed?) */ The thing that I thought might have to be disallowed (and I now see it does have to be!) is the setting of panel structure as in your setobs ID year --panel after sub-sampling the dataset. 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
