Whoops. I think the original solution I posted quickly gets off a day. I think it is fixable, but how about this instead:

. gen finyear = year(datevisit)

. replace finyear = finyear - 1 if month(datevisit) < 4
Just a quick note to note, as it were, that this approach can be done in one line:

. gen finyear = year(datevisit) - (month(datevisit)<4)

(This works because the logical condition will evaluate to 0 or 1, as appropriate.
