Re: st: Re: tsline if tin error

Well, this code is close in spirit to yours, and does work, so there has to 
be a material difference that let`s yours fail and not mine:

**
sysuse tsline1, clear
tsset lags
tw (tsline ar) (tsline ma)/*
*/ if tin(40,160)
**

I suspect that you have to specify the arguments to -tin()- differently, as 
shown in -help f_tin-.
