Hello. This morning, I executed the command mdy, which worked.
I continued working with Stata, no unusual events occurred, and
later in the afternoon, I used the command mdy and it didn't work:

mdy(2,29,2004)
unrecognized command: mdy
r(199);

I did update all, and mdy still doesn't work.

I can certainly write my own mdy function, but I am mostly disturbed by
the fact that the function just disappeared. So the question:
Why did this happen, and how can I prevent commands from disappearing
like this?

Thank you, Encyclopedia Brown!

Janet
