You could use something like
... if inrange(date, mdy(8,15,1999), mdy(8,14,2000))

I'm trying to figure out how to create a variable that coded according
to whether it falls in certain time periods in my dataset. So, I've
got data like
input date
"03/29/2000"
"04/21/2001"
"08/07/2002"
"09/01/2001"
and I format the dates with
replace date = date(date, "MDY")
format date %td
but I want an indicator that is 1 if the dates are in the range Aug.
15, 1999 to Aug. 14, 2000 and indicator = 2 if in the range Aug. 15,
2000 to Aug. 14, 2001 and so on, but I cannot figure out how to get
inrange() to work (or some other method to create this indicator):
generate ind = .
replace ind = 1 if inrange(date, 15aug1999, 14aug2000)
