Re: st: [windows-1256] time variable year limit

Stata is telling you what the problem is. Unfortunately,
your report here does not illuminate the problem further. However,
there is an FAQ on this point which may help:

How do I deal with a report of repeated time values within panel?

I have two sets of panel data which is the same format, only the value 
is different. I just finished one set of the model testing. But the 
other set of the data could not work at all.

I got

. tsset id year
repeated time values within panel
r(451);

. isid id year
variables id year do not uniquely identify the observations
r(459);

Actually my data was sorted by id (panel-firms) and year (time 
variable-1990-2005). When I describe it, the data was sorted by id year. 
However, no matter what I do, it is not accepted at all.
