Hi,

I have used this code for a long time and today I have a problem with the result (maybe it only works after 12:00:00)

Can anybody help me to understand why?

clear
set obs 1
local today : di %tdCYND date(subinstr("`c(current_date)'"," ","",.),"DMY")
gen today=`today'
format today %15.0g

It is a matter of precision; try:

   help precision
and
   gen double today=`today'
