This worked fine for me:


. clear all

. insheet using quarter.csv
(2 vars, 48 obs)

. tsmktim period, start(2001q1)
        time variable:  period, 2001q1 to 2012q4
                delta:  1 quarter

. save quarter, replace
file quarter.dta saved

. insheet using year.csv, clear
(2 vars, 12 obs)

. tsset year, yearly
        time variable:  year, 2001 to 2012
                delta:  1 year

. save year, replace
file year.dta saved

. 
. which denton
/Users/cfbaum/Library/Application Support/Stata/ado/plus/d/denton.ado
*! denton  1.1.0   sh/cfb A810

. denton gdp03 using newfile, interp(indprod) from(~/desktop/quarter.dta) gen(pibq)
 
pibq is interpolated from the yearly series gdp03 using the quarterly series indprod
pibq is saved in newfile for the period:2001q1 to 2012q4
