Stata: Date display bug?

[Ingo Brooks]

Dear all,

I would like to display a date variable formatted as "1 Jun 2009". However, I wonder whether there is a bug for this display format for years 2000 until 2009, while the other years get displayed properly. Specifically:

webuse grunfeld, clear
replace year = year + 60
gen Date = mdy(6, 1, year)
format Date %dd_m_cy

gives

Can you reproduce this or am I missing something?

Thanks for looking into this.

Best,
Ingo

You need to go back and review date time formats. I think this is what you want (not tested).

 
 format Date %tdDD_Mon_CCYY

Thanks, Leonardo, for the quick reply. This works.
