Tashi,
No need to search the archives for the correct specification of the
-integer- option, as this is clearly documented in -help syntax-.
If <firm_id> varies (in whatever sense), why would the option be optional?
Anyway, just make it a -numlist-instead of an -integer-. How to do so
is documented in -help syntax-
Best
Daniel

I searched for archive and found out that we need to give a default
value for optional options like following
syntax, doc_id(int) [firm_id(int 5)]
I am not sure if I understood this. Does this not fix firm_id=5? In my
case, firm_id will vary. Any idea or hint will be highly appreciated.
