tsline label option

[Morimoto Susumu]

I googled how to do it, but I didn't find the method.

It's quarterly data and I would like to let time points 1984q4 1988q4 as 1984, 1988. So I would like to disapper q4 in every time point. Is there any way to do it?
When I add "tlabel(, format(%ty))" label turned to numbers from dates. For example, 1984q4 to 99.
Please let me know!

Consider the following to get a hint on what you need:

. di yq(2014,4)
219

. di %tq  yq(2014,4)
2014q4

. di %tqCY  yq(2014,4)
2014

All the information you need is at

help dates and times

so no cause for Googling.
