	First, please do not send HTML to the list.
	
	Second,
	
	. tsset lnQ
	
	is quite wrong, as -lnQ- is not a time variable.

	I have a Panel like this form
	
	lnq = a_1 + a_2.lnQ + a_3.lnREus + a_3.lnREjp + a_4.lnREmq + a_4.lnREsk + a_5.lnREhk  +     a_6.lnREau + u
	
	lnq: canada exported quantity  ( dependent variable)
	lnQ, lnREus, lnREjp, lnREmq, lnREsk, lnREhk, lnREau are respectively the canada capacity constraint and the real exchange rate between canada and USA, Japon, Mexico, South-Korea, Hong-Kong and Australia (independent variables).
	At the begining I have a Panel and I want to identify each unit's time series, in order to achieve this goal, having the result of  tsset country datevar to define both a panel variable and a time variable.
	I tested lnq variable  Ihave this result (there is no problem):
	
	levinlin lnq, lag(0)
	
	Levin-Lin-Chu test for lnq        Deterministics chosen: constant
	Pooled ADF test, N,T = (6,191)    Obs = 1140  
	Augmented by 0 lags (average)     Truncation: 18 lags
	coefficient         t-value        t-star            P > t
	 -0.19554      -11.273      -9.85790      0.0000
	
	But When I tested lnQ, I had this results:
	
	levinlin lnQ, lag(0)
	Levin-Lin-Chu test for lnQ        Deterministics chosen: constant
	no observations
	r(2000);
	
	In the end the tsset of this variable give this resuts:
	
	tsset lnQ
	time variable must contain only integer values
	r(451);

	What does the tsset command say about this variable?
