If you have panel data, you must specify the panel identifier too.

I am beginning an analysis of some Consumer Expenditure Survey data. I have quarterly data sets from 1996 through 2009. I have a variable called 'timevar' which is a sequential number unique to each quarter. I used the following code in an attempt to tsset the data:
. gen newtime = q(1996q1) + timevar-1
r; t=0.03 9:20:36
. format newtime %tq
r; t=0.00 9:21:03
. tsset newtime
repeated time values in sample
r(451); t=0.16 9:21:15
I am not sure what this error code is telling. The listed explanation is:
[P] error . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Return code 451
invalid values for time variable;
For instance, you specified mytime as a time variable and
mytime contains noninteger values.
