you should be able to tweak -sample- with -cluster- option for your
purposes. It selects the whole cluster, in your case, the whole panel.

Hi,
In my panel data (one observation per year), the variable lpnr identifies
persons and the variable aar identifies panels.
I wish to obtain a 10% probability sample that is representative in terms of
persons (lpnr). But if the person is selected, I want to follow him or her
throughout the panels (aar).
Findit "random sample" did not help me, though.
Any help is appriciated.
