Kono,

I think that Austin is right. Maybe it is better for your understanding:
-gen newtime=(periodstart-1966)/4- and -tsset ccode newtime-.

kono--
I'm sure David Roodman will reply, with actual expertise to offer, but
I will offer an untested hypothesis: Your -tsset- shows gaps--is it
possible that the lagged values don't exist (i.e. the last year of
data is not in the data, only a value from four years before)?  In
that case, create a new time variable, e.g.
 gen tetrad=periodstart/4
 tsset ccode tetrad
or somesuch.
