Hi Nick,
Sorry for confusing you. My data look like this:
company date price return
1 02jan1990
1 03jan1990
1 04jan1990
.
.
.
1 31dec1991
2 02jan1980
2 03jan1980
.
.
.
2 31dec2012
.
.
.
So, 8399 is the max period for one company say starting 02jan1980 - 31dec2002.
Also, "describe date" gives us:
storage display value
variable name type format label variable label
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
date float %tbbcal
where "bcal" is the business calendar I have defined.
Many thanks for your patience Nick!!
