I suspect that you need to revisit your -xtset- statement. The default
of -xtset- is to make a guess based on the format of the time
variable. However, if you defined your business calendar after your
-xtset-, that would not, I think, have any effect. Either way, -xtset-
needs to be disabused of its settings.
