Using the same example as from our other discussion thread, the trick is to
format your dates:
*****************!
clear
**data ex. shortened a bit:===>
inp str15 fulldate firm_id director_id mark
"22/10/2002" 1 7 0
"07/04/2003" 1 7 0
"11/04/2003" 1 7 0
"01/10/2003" 1 7 0
"01/10/2003" 1 7 0
"20/10/2003" 1 7 0
"07/04/2004" 1 7 0
"08/04/2004" 1 7 0
"16/04/2004" 1 7 0
"25/10/2004" 1 7 1
"12/11/2004" 1 7 0
"07/04/2005" 1 7 1
"27/04/2005" 1 7 1
"25/08/2005" 1 7 0

"06/09/2007" 1 7 1
"06/09/2007" 1 7 1
"06/09/2007" 1 7 1
end
drop mark
**format dates
*see -help dates-
g date = date(fulldate, "DMY")
format date %td
g enddate = date +40
format enddate %td
