st: Creating STATA Date variable

Hello
I have a stata data set with two columns that correspond to the month (double, %12.0g) and year(float,%9.0g) of my observations.
To be honest I do not know what the type and format of the variables imply.
I want to create a new variable,date, that combines these two variables.
To complicate matters I also need to set the date itself to the 15th of the month for each observation.
That is in a mm/dd/yyyy format I want all the dates (dd) to be set to the 15th along with the corresponding month and year that are in my dataset.
Any inputs /suggestions?
Thank you
Vinod
