st: Question on Dfactor and Gaps in Time Series

Statalist,
I am using the dfactor command and have run into the gap in time series
error. My data is price (p), volume (v) and earnings yield (ep) and I am
trying to develop a dynamic factor model using the dfactor command. My
code is:
tsset
time variable: date, 2008w25 to 2010w40
delta: 1 week
. dfactor(D.(p v ep)=,noconstant)(f=,ar(1/2))
gaps in the time series are not allowed
r(459);
. tsfill,full
tsset
time variable: date, 2008w25 to 2010w40
delta: 1 week
. dfactor(D.(p v ep)=,noconstant)(f=,ar(1/2))
gaps in the time series are not allowed
r(459);
It appears that the dfactor command is not recognizing the tsfill, full
step. The dfactor is a relatively new command and I did not see
anything regarding the time gap issue and dfactor on the FAQ.
Thank you for your assistance.
