Good morning, good people.

I was trying to plot a chart of some quantity and I discovered the following.

. dis date("01apr2011","DMY")
18718
. dis date("01apr2011","dmy")
.

So far, so good. However, when using the tsline plot, it behaves the
opposite way:

. tsline jpod if date >=  date("01apr2011","dmy")
<correct graph>
. tsline jpod if date >=  date("01apr2011","DMY")
<blank graph>

I am using Stata 11 64bit on Win7. Any idea of whether this is fixable?
