st: survival data analysis- recode survival time variable

[Johannes Schoder <johannes.schoder@soi.uzh.ch>]

Hi,

I am working with survival data and have the problem that my variable 
survival time is in the following format:
yymm, where y represents years and m months. Instead of the yymm format 
I just want to have it in months since otherwise I always have the jump 
from 11 months (0011) to 1 year (0100).

Thank you very much for your help!
Johannes
