. format my_date %dN/D/CY looks like the format that your are looking for. The "N" stands for "number" where %dM/D/Y would print the month name. You might find my webpage helpful.

All dates are currently recorded in the SAS date format. That means they are positive or negative numbers depending on whether they were before or after day "0": 1-January-1960 I have yet to find a way to get them converted to STATA with the actual date (01/01/1960 for instance) in the record. Can anyone help me?
