I see. Now I get it, in my actual file, I had generated new variables
using -bys actual_panel_variable=....- (actual panel variable is
string), The panel variable for xtset has to be numeric, so if
equivalently I use -bys panel_variable_id=...- , no error is reported.

Thanks very much indeed, Martin for helping me learn by -do-ing!
