st: How to replace a missing date with value?

Dear list,
I am trying to replace date value that was missing (.) with the actual value that I now have.
Given that date1 is a date (DMY) variable in %dM_d,_CY format..
I do not understand why the below code does not result in the requested change to change date1==. (MISSING) to date1=29feb2001
replace date1 = date("29-02-2001","DMY") in 23 (via edit)
(0 real changes made)
replace date1 = date("02-29-2001","DMY") if id=="12345" (via command screen)
(0 real changes made)
Any help you can provide would be much appreciated.
Thank you so much,
Rebecca
