Well, it is generating missings equal to the number of observations, because you are asking Stata to interpret "31" as a month, and it rightly refuses to do so...

Betreff: st: reading dates stored as string variable in .csv file
Hello all,
I am having trouble reformatting date values of the form 12/31/08. The variables are stored as a sting variable and the code gen newdate= date(date, "DMY", 2010) is generating a large number of missing values. I am using Stata 11.
Thank you,
Joshua A. Shindell
