Hi all!
I am using an unbalanced panel, for which I want to perform the Fisher stationarity test. Therefore, I have to choose the appropriate number of lags to include. As the varsoc command does not work in panel data, I have tried to derive the optimal number of lags using the HQIC as proposed by http://www.stata.com/statalist/archive/2005-02/msg00264.html. 
When coming to perform my test, I copy the procedure proposed, changing the variable names and write 
xtfisher y, lag(`opt_lag'). 
Then stata displays:
option lag() incorrectly specified
What is the mistake I make? When running the procedure using the

everything works fine...

I would be grateful if you could respond!
