st: Formatting Dates

Hello,
I am trying to do the following:
I have generated a new variable to estimate the age of a patient beginning
with their date of birth to the time they took a blood sample. Example:
Generate newage = Drawdate- birthdate (this gives me the actual
number of days)
I made a new variable to get the actual days into years. Example:
Generate currentage =newage/365.4 (this gives me years)
However, some patients are less than 1 year of age, so I need the age in
years and months. How do I do this.
I am a novice user, any help would be great. Thank you
~AMP
