Looking for some help converting my string data to a %td.
My date is a str11 as follows:
| surgery_d~e |
|-------------|
1. | 20-Jun-2005 |
2. | 22-Mar-2005 |
3. | 29-Nov-2005 |
4. | 18-Apr-2006 |
5. | 28-Sep-2004 |
When I try to convert this is a date, gen mydate=date( surgery_date,
"mdy")
I just get a variable with all values missing.
