Hi Scott,

I have one more question: I don't understand why the infile() command
works here.

Specifically in your programm the expression:

inlist(`tvar',`tx')

`tvar' is a local that contains the timevariable and tx is a list of
strings that contain the time numbers. In the help file it says that
infile will only work if all arguments must be reals or all must be
strings, which does not seem to be the case here.

Can you please explain. This would be a great help for me to
understand this potentialy powerfull command better.

Thanks!

Tom

I don't understand why you cannot use -if- restrictions and what timex,
timey, and timez represent; however, at least in the simpler example this
seems to accomplish the task:

program foo , rclase
  version 9.2
  syntax varlist(ts min=2 numeric) , Timex(numlist >=0 integer)
Units(numlist integer)
  qui tsset
  local tvar `r(timevar)'
  local pvar "`r(panelvar)'"
  local tx: subinstr local timex " " ",", all
  local u: subinstr local units " " ",", all
  tempvar yx foo
  gen `foo' = 1 if  inlist(`tvar',`tx') & inlist(`pvar', `u')
  qui mkmat `pvar' `tvar' `varlist' if `foo' == 1, matrix(`yx')
  matrix list `yx'
end


Which results in:

. webuse invest2,clear

. tsset com time
       panel variable:  company (strongly balanced)
        time variable:  time, 1 to 20

. foo invest market stock, timex(3 6 7 9) units(1 2 4)
