st: date conversion

Colleagues,
I need to convert a series of dates in my dataset to a specific format
for a collaborator. Currently, they are in the standard stata date
format.
I need to make them into string variables in the following format:
01051987 which is Jan 5, 1987
09151973 which is Sept 15, 1973
12302005 which is Dec 30, 2005
where the month is always 2 characters and the day is also always 2
characters and year is 4 characters.
Is this possible?
Thank you in advance.
Mike
