st: Week() Function

["Eric G. Wruck" <ewruck@econalytics.com>]

I was trying to use the week function to graph weekly totals. 
However, I get some squirrelly results.  Am I doing something wrong 
or have I uncovered a bug?


. gen week = week(date2)

. format week %tw

. l date2 week

     +---------------------+
     |     date2      week |
     |---------------------|
  1. | 16jul2007   1960w30 |
  2. | 17jul2007   1960w30 |
     +---------------------+

Thanks,

Eric
