If you are using Stata 10, use the date and time functions instead.
Otherwise my recollection of this user-written command is that you need
to specify explicitly that . act as punctuation. Also you need to start
with values like 14.41.37 as strings, in which case you probably want
-ntimeofday-.

I am a neophyte of Stata.
I have a time variable in my database "time", which takes for example
the value 14.41.37, that is hours, minutes and seconds, but Stata
change it in .61223382.
I red about the stimeofday command and I tried to use it, typing this
command:
stimeofday time, gen(hours) n(s) s(h m s) timeonly am(" am") pm(" pm")
but the output is:
(1436t missing values generated)
type mismatch
r(109);
