Subject:      buildung cohorts from date variables
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed

Hi List,

I have a unique date variable for each Id, formatted as dmy (edate). Now
I want to build cohorts from these dates, e.g.
01.01.04 to 31.01.04 = cohort 1
01.02.04 to 29.02.04 = cohort 2 and so on.

Recoding doesn´t seem to work with date vars, so how can I do this?

Any help much appreciated,
Ralf
