Changing the display of a date variable

[Jack Jameson]

Hi all,

I have a year-month variable which I have formatted with %tm. Is there a way to change the display from eg. "2010m1" to "2010Jan"? I cannot find an answer to this anywhere.

Thank you!

Display format would be %tmCCYYMon.


. scalar define ym = ym(2010, 1)

. display in smcl as text %tmCCYYMon ym
2010Jan

.

help datetime_display_formats
