Hi,
My date is stored in %td format, e.g.,
mydate
19aug2005
When I summarize mydate:
sum mydate
it produces results like the following.
Variable | Obs Mean Std. Dev. Min Max
-------------+--------------------------------------------------------
buydt | 9261737 16785.61 9.022221 16771 16801
Can I display the summary results in a specific format such as %td? This is
because the data is too big and sorting takes long time to see the min and
max dates. Or, is there a table that matches numbers to actual dates? The
help file says that:
%td dates 01jan0100 to 31dec9999 (integers -679,350 to 2,936,549)
Thank you,
Ray Hawkins.
