I am trying to use sureg on a dataset of approximately 50 firms with
900 trading days of observations:

. xtset
       panel variable:  CompanyNum (strongly balanced)
        time variable:  TradeDateNum, 501 to 1402
                delta:  1 unit

I keep only the necessary variables:

. keep TradeDateNum CompanyNum LnRt*

and reshape from long to wide for the company specific variables:

. reshape wide LnRtFiveYrMid LnRtStock, i(TradeDateNum) j(CompanyNum)
(note: j = 1 2 3 4 5 6 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 22 23 24
25 26 27 28 29 30 32 33
>  34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 51 52 53 54 55 56 57)

Data                               long   ->   wide
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Number of obs.                    47806   ->     902
Number of variables                  10   ->     113
j variable (53 values)       CompanyNum   ->   (dropped)
xij variables:
                          LnRtFiveYrMid   ->   LnRtFiveYrMid1
LnRtFiveYrMid2 ... LnRtFiveYrM
> id57
                              LnRtStock   ->   LnRtStock1 LnRtStock2
... LnRtStock57
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

I then attempt to execute sureg on my current pooled OLS specification
for just two firms:

. sureg (LnRtFiveYrMid1 L(1/2).LnRtFiveYrMid1 L(0/4).LnRtCDX LnRtCMT
LnRtTED L(0/2).LnRtStoc
> k1) (LnRtFiveYrMid2 L(1/2).LnRtFiveYrMid2 L(0/4).LnRtCDX LnRtCMT LnRtTED L(0/2).LnRtStock2
> )
variable CompanyNum not found

and I get the error CompanyNum (the dropped variable after reshaping
to wide) not found.  So far, the only way it will run is if I exclude
time series operators:

. sureg (LnRtFiveYrMid1 LnRtCDX LnRtCMT LnRtTED LnRtStock1)
(LnRtFiveYrMid2 LnRtCDX LnRtCMT
> LnRtTED LnRtStock2)

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Does sureg prevent the use of time series operators?  If so, am I best
to manually generate all the lags before reshaping or after?  Any
other suggestions?  Thanks.
