st: age: factor variables may not contain noninteger values

Dear List
I am trying to investigate the interactions between age and a grouping variable in a regression model, using this code:
xi: regress Var1 age##i.group
Var1: is a continuous variable
Age: is a continous variable / float
When i run the code i get the following error message:
age: factor variables may not contain noninteger values
My question: what am i doing wrong and can i my float variable (age) to a integer variable?
Thank You
Lars
