. format my_date %dN/D/CY

looks like the format that your are looking for.  The "N" stands for "number"
where %dM/D/Y would print the month name.

I have the following problem in a data set.  All dates are currently recorded in
the SAS date format.   That means they are positive or negative numbers
depending on whether they were before or after day "0": 1-January-1960   I have
yet to find a way to get them converted to STATA with the actual date
(01/01/1960 for instance) in the record.  Can anyone help me?

Thanks in advance
