This is a cheap first shot. You want to dig deeper into -help
dates_and_times- to get all the leap years and stuff into this. Am I correct
that your "dateint" has the first two characters reversed?

***********
clear*

inp byte id str13 dateint age_bl  
 1    "7242003"   81.00753 
 2    "6132003"   89.99042 
 3    "4222004"   84.70363 
 4    "1092005"   71.01163 
 5    "9042003"   65.36345 
end

compress
list, noo

gen str15 newdate= /* 
*/ reverse(substr(dateint,1,2))+ " " + /* 
*/ substr(dateint,3,1)+ " " +substr(dateint,4,.)
gen mydate=date(newdate, "DMY")
form mydate %tdMon_DD,_CCYY
drop dateint newdate

gen birthday=mydate-age_bl*365
format birthday %td
gen yearwhenforty=yofd(birthday+40*365)

Subject: st: generating year for a given age

Hi,

   I have a dataset  where I have the date of interview and the
corresponding age at that time (age_bl). I want to create two variables of
of this: 1) date of birth and 2) year when age was 40 for the participants.

      | id     dateint       age_bl   |
      |--------------------------------------|
  1. |  1    7242003   81.00753  |
  2. |  2    6132003   89.99042  |
  3. |  3    4222004   84.70363  |
  4. |  4   10192005   71.01163 |
  5. |  5    9042003   65.36345  |
     +-------------------------------------+


  How would I do that?
  
  Thanks,
  
   Debs
