Hello Statalisters

I'm working in Stata9 SE for Windows a database that has a variable
that tells me the time of the observation. I have the database in
Excel format and I transfer it to Stata format. When I transfer the
archive, instead of hour format (i.e.: 12:30) I get a float number
(i.e.:12.3).

The problem gets worse because te observations aren�t separated by
regular intervals.
My quiestion is, is there anyway to transfer the variable in hour format?

Can anybody help me with this?

Thank you very much
Edgard
