Sounds like you're running a model with quite a few lags. It's possible that the pi option is too small given the size of the data set and size of the model you're running.

Good day everybody,

When the residual dates in Andrews-Quandt and Andrews-Ploberger comes before the Variables (All Coeff) structural break point dates (i.e the robust F-statistics date (1981) before Break point statistics date (1987)),Please what does this denote?

Thank you.

OO

I'm not sure what your question is. @APBREAKTEST with ROBUSTERRORS uses a different test statistic than @APBREAKTEST without it so there is no reason that the two would show the maximum break at the same location.
