FODSTR: Stata modules to handle fractional day calculations

Statistical Software Components from Boston College Department of Economics

Abstract: fodstr newvar oldvar extracts the fraction-of-a-day stored in Stata's date format and formats it in readable (hh:mm:ss) form. fod2str newvar oldvar creates the full formatted dd mmmm yyyy hh:mm:ss form. mkfrac newvar oldvar performs the inverse trasformation; given a string variable containing a date, it returns the fraction of a day involved (i.e. 1 Jan 1998 06:00:00 becomes 0.5000).

Language: Stata
Date: Written 1998-04-15
