" It has happened before as well that conditionals do not work as option."
That is really because they are not "options", but "qualifiers". So they
have to be placed in front of the comma...

Betreff: Re: st: AW: Keeping variable After restore
Dear Martin:
Thanks for your reply. However, stata says "option if not allowed". It
has happened before as well that conditionals do not work as option.
factor wbq91-wbq93, factors(1) if year == 2005
option if not allowed
r(198)
Thanks again and best regards,
Tanveer
