                                - or -

        ^etoj^ edate [^if^ exp] [^in^ range], ^g^enerate^(^jdate^)^


converts Stata elapsed dates to Julian dates (year plus day of year).  
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.
