How to create dummy variables for each month?

[Scott Vince]

Hi again -- I have a date variable in the form of the example below. It runs from January 1,2017 to December 31, 2017. I wish to create 12 dummy variables, one for each month January-December. Any suggestions? Thanks!

Apologies. I was overthinking this. Simple code.

gen month=month(stata_date)
