Dear Sir/Madam,
I am using Stata 8.0 and trying to use hpfilter to get a detrending new
variable. But after I type the commend, no new variable is generated
nor
does error message appear. I realized this is an old commend. But is
there
any way that I can generate the smoothed variable on Stata 8.0?
Thanks for your reply.

It is likely that you have too many observations. As a troll of the
archives will show, if confronted with more observations than hpfilter
can handle, it does nothing, and emits no error. Try 'set matsize 800'
before its use if you have fewer than 800 obs. in the timeseries.
