Hi All!

I have been trying to define a singe data variable from the given two
date variables named YEAR and DATE-MONTH for data from from Jan 01,
2005 to Dec 31, 2010. Also the month variable has breaks for holidays.
I need to merge the two variable so I could define the yearly specific
date with month to compare trends of stocks across the years.

The data looks like

. li	year day-month in	1/20

	+-----------------+
	year   day-month
	-----------------
1.	2010     31-Dec
2.	2010     30-Dec
3.	2010     29-Dec
4.	2010     28-Dec
5.	2010     27-Dec
	-----------------
6.	2010     24-Dec
7.	2010     23-Dec
8.	2010     22-Dec
9.	2010     21-Dec
10.	2010     20-Dec
	-----------------
11.	2010     15-Dec
12.	2010     14-Dec
13.	2010     13-Dec
14.	2010     10-Dec
15.	2010     09-Dec

16.	2010     08-Dec
17.	2010     07-Dec
18.	2010     06-Dec
19.	2010     03-Dec
