Does anyone have code for the Driscoll and Kraay (1998) standard errors?

That would be done with a CLUSTER option on time. If you have a standard RATS panel calendar, that would be done by adding the CLUSTER=%PERIOD(T) option. The Greene textbook example GRN7P368.RPF has:

preg(method=fixed,effects=time,cluster=%period(t)) lwage
# exper expersq wks occ ind south smsa ms union

as one of the models estimated.
