Sorry, maybe I didn't understand your question. Now I assume it is no problem for you to create the variable containing the age in months, e.g. by typing generate currentage_m = newage/30.4 And now you want to format it? What exactly do mean by that? Best Oliver Am 10.06.2011 15:14, schrieb Anna M. Pees:
How would I do that? Sorry, so new to this. I can generate the new variable from the two dates but what do I use to format it?
