Extract year from datetime variable

[Zara Valentinova]

Hello all,

I am trying to extract the years from a datetime variable and do not seem to find a way. I am attaching images of what I see on STATA. Can someone explain to me in a simple way what I should do?

Thank you in advance!

your images are completely unreadable on my machine; please read and follow the advice in the FAQ; in the meantime, assuming you have your date data in Stata date form, see
