Hi Dan.
There may be a new trick in Stata 10, but in Stata 9 I use the user-written -todate-, available from SSC (-ssc install todate-). They syntax is:
todate old_date, gen(new_date) pattern(yyyymmdd) format(%d)

Need to convert date format of YYYYMMDD into Stata date format. Does anyone have a short do-file to accomplish this?

Thank you,
Dan
