I am also trying to obtain some graphs, but I need the dates to be specific and not across all of the data sample. When I command -tsline GDP- for example stata gives me a graph but it mixes all gdp values from all 5 countries in one line which is not very helpful. How can I specify my command so I get only the years I want in the graph and the lines to be separated from 1(where all GDP values are added together) to 5 lines by my ID-country.
Thank you again for your time!

Bumping after 90 minutes? Please don't do that.

Try

xtline GDP 

xtline GDP, overlay

and you might need or want to use ysc(log) as an option.

My apologies it was not on purpose this was supposed to be a comment on the previous post and because i did not find it there i reposted it thinking it was the first time. Sorry for that again.
How can i instruct stata to make that graph only for 1973q4-1979q1 for example. Also is it possible to make separate graphs per ID-Country?
I cannot thank you enough!!

Best way to thank me is to take my advice! The previous code answers the second question. Otherwise you need an -if- qualifier such as

… if inrange(yq, yq(1973, 4), yq(1979,1))

in your code (before any options).
