Dear all,

I  am just revisiting an old paper (running under version control for
version 9.2 under a version 10.2 maching in a research data center)
and encounter a strange problem with xtivreg2.

In february I ran the following code:

xtivreg2 `depvar' `indepvars' `exovars' (overall_coeff_var
overall_coeff_var_sq = L.overall_coeff_var L.overall_coeff_var_sq
L2.overall_coeff_var L2.overall_coeff_var_sq), fd gmm robust

and got the following results:

Warning - collinearities detected
Vars dropped:  D.year_d7 D.year_d6 D.year_d5

FIRST DIFFERENCES ESTIMATION
----------------------------
Number of groups =      1022                    Obs per group: min =         1
                                                               avg =       2.6
                                                               max =         7

2-Step GMM estimation
---------------------

Statistics robust to heteroskedasticity

                                                      Number of obs =     2627
                                                      F( 24,  2602) =     4.62
                                                      Prob > F      =   0.0000
Total (centered) SS     =  113.3549125                Centered R2   =  -0.0026
Total (uncentered) SS   =    113.83846                Uncentered R2 =   0.0017
Residual SS             =  113.6464909                Root MSE      =     .208

Some days ago, I changed the instruments from lagged first and second
differences to lagged second and third differences, gmm to 2sls and
added clustered standard errors and the option -first- to have a look
at the first stage results. In other words, I ran the following code:
xtivreg2 `depvar' `indepvars' `exovars' (overall_coeff_var
overall_coeff_var_sq = L2.overall_coeff_var L2.overall_coeff_var_sq
L3.overall_coeff_var L3.overall_coeff_var_sq), fd cluster(idnum) first

This time I get an error message:

D.overall_coeff_v invalid name
r(198); t=8.63 11:10:53

As far as I know neither the Stata Version, nor the dataset used have
been changed in the meantime. SAme applies to the macros used for the
dependent and independent variables.

I'd greatly appreciate any input on this issue as I am a bit (well,
really) lost at present.

Best,
Nils
