st: Remove part of a string variable
Date

Dear All,
when I upload my data into Stata from my Access file (using the odbc
function) the time variable that I have becomes:
30dec1899 09:30:14
And it is in a double format.
I want to remove from my variable time the part 30dec1899.
I tried with generate splitat and with split time, p(“30dec1899”) but
they don’t work.
Could you please help me?
Thank you very much.
Bea
