Hi STATA Dndee,

what didn't you like about Nick's answer? He gave you the line
-gen var1n = date("15/" + var1, "DMY")-
to achieve your goal in Stata 10. For earlier versions of Stata, it
would be "dmy", I believe. Add
-format var1n %td-
to format the new date variable as a date (i.e. 15jun2005), since you
probably don't want to see 16602 in your output. All of this is well
explained in the help files and manuals.

Regards,
Eva
