Statscraft 0.7.0, release v0.7.0

DATE

Add date variables that count the cases of a time series.

Syntax

DATE keyword [start [period]] [keyword ...] [BY n].
keyword: YEAR QUARTER MONTH (long periods), WEEK DAY HOUR MINUTE SECOND (short periods),
CYCLE, OBS; any start of the word, MINUTE from MI. Long and short do not mix.
Each keyword makes a numeric variable named keyword_; DATE_ (a string) shows them all,
and CYCLE_ is added when the highest keyword has a period. Defaults: start 1 (HOUR,
MINUTE, SECOND 0), period QUARTER 4, MONTH 12, DAY 7, HOUR 24, MINUTE and SECOND 60,
none for the highest keyword except QUARTER. OBS needs a start and a period; CYCLE takes
no period. QUARTER and MONTH give each other their start; with MONTH the quarter
follows the month. BY n steps the lowest keyword and must divide its period. Earlier
DATE variables are replaced. A table lists the new variables and their labels.

Example

DATE Y 1990 M 7.
