You will probably only have to modify these lines:
npanel = 20; load data[38,21] = gdp.txt; let name = Year Australia Austria Belgium Canada Denmark Finland France Germany Greece Iceland Ireland Italy Japan Netherlands Norway Spain Sweden Switzerland UK USA;
For example, if you had a text file named mydata.txt with 94 observations, where the first column was the year and then you had 3 more columns of data one for Australia, one for Denmark and one for Iceland, you would change the code to look like this:
npanel = 3; load data[94,4] = mydata.txt; let name = Year Australia Denmark Iceland;
The rest of the file should stay the same.

The example probably failed because the sample data file did not have enough observations for this program. If you download this data file, example_data.txt and change the lines:
npanel = 20; load data[38,21] = gdp.txt;
to:
npanel = 3; load data[38,4] = example_data.txt;
the program should run successfully. I tested it on my machine with no problems.
