Yes, it was a similar question about generating date variables. This is about using dates of different formats to calculate age. Sorry if they are too closely related. Thank you for the help.

Matthew,

I think you asked more or less the same question a few months ago: http://www.stata.com/statalist/archive/2013-10/msg00662.html

At any rate, the answers given at that time should help answer this question.

Subject: st: date calculation

I have two date variables arranged as YYYYMM and YYYYYMMDD. The first variable is date of birth and the second is date of admission to treatment. I am trying to calculate age_at_admission, but am running into trouble. Is this a possible calculation since Stata calculates dates as days since 1,1,1960?

Thank you for your help. 

Matthew
