    Reformatting a monthly date variable

    I have a date variable in month-year format that looks like "2012m8". I got to that format using the command
    HTML Code:
    format mdate %tm
    I am trying to convert the format to something like "August2012". The help file for "datetime" isn't getting me there. I'm sure its an easy fix. Any advice?

        A note for those who encounter this topic in the future: the help file for datetime contains a link - at the bottom of the basic formats display table - to
        Code:
        help datetime display formats
        which documents how to construct more interesting formats for Stata datetime values.
