Convert Julian dates to Stata elapsed dates                    [STB-14: dm14]
-------------------------------------------

        ^jtoe^ year day [^if^ exp] [^in^ range], ^g^enerate^(^edate^)^ [no^s^hort]

                                - or -

        ^jtoe^ jdate [^if^ exp] [^in^ range], ^g^enerate^(^edate^)^ [no^s^hort]


converts Julian dates (year plus day of year) to Stata elapsed dates.
In the first form of the command, the year and the day are stored in
separate variables.  In the second form, the year and day are both
stored in "jdate" where the year is stored as the integer part of the
variable and the day is stored as the three digits following the
decimal place.

The ^generate()^ option is required.




Options
-------

^g^enerate^(^edate^)^ specifies the name to use for the Stata elapsed
        date.  This option is required.

^nos^hort forces two-digit years to be interpreted literally.  The
        default is to add 1900 to two-digit years.
