Panos,
In conjunction with -encode-, as suggested by Richard Goldstein, you might want to use the following statement to convert month names to month numbers:
. gen month_num=month(date(MONTH,"M"))

Dear All,
I have got a string variable: MONTH, where records the months of the year (e.g., January, February and so forth) on micro-data basis.
Would you please assist me how best I would attach a set of label values where 1 refers to January, 2 is for February and so forth.
I would appreciate your response.
Thanks very much
Panos
