Thank you Nick for the very useful reply!
Unfortunately I'm still struggling with the second command:
replace target = mdy(<month>, 16, <year>) in 1
As you described, there is some surgery needed, because not every
month has a 16th day(business days). Problem is that I can't adapt
this manually as I have data for 10 years and for 400 firms (about 1.5
million observations).
Hopefully you can help me out how to fix this. Thank in advance!
