Thanks again. Apologies, I didn’t mean to say I obtained the exact
same results – I meant to say that one still obtains pseudo-random
dates by omitting that particular code (without setting the seed).

(My understanding is that Stata uses a pseudo-random number generator
which can pass for a true random number generator – but I digress).

Thank you Rebecca for your help.
Kind regards,
G.
