st: Dealing with dates

[jdubas@nd.edu]

I have a panel data set with countries and years in rows.  I can't declare my
set to be time series because my dates have decimal points.

Country1    1960.01
Country1    1960.02
COuntry2    1960.01
etc...

How do I get these into workable form for time series analysis?

Thanks
Justin
