I do this:

clear
set obs 10
gen year=2010
gen month=_n
gen date1=ym(year, month)
format date1 %tm

And I get this:

year	month	date1
2010	1	23aug1961
2010	2	24aug1961
2010	3	25aug1961
2010	4	26aug1961
2010	5	27aug1961
2010	6	28aug1961
2010	7	29aug1961
2010	8	30aug1961
2010	9	31aug1961
2010	10	01sep1961

How on Earth is that possible? A minute ago ym() was working fine, I swear.
