I've been reading about how to deal with changes in date format going from SPSS to STATA so I was prepared for it to display differently however I'm not sure how to deal with the following.

Data has been entered into SPSS as a DATETIME20 variable so it looks like this:

2-Feb-2011 10:20:00

However when I export the SPSS as a STATA file all the variable contains is the date:

02 Feb 11

but the time information (I don't require the date) seems to have gone.

Is there a way of displaying time data?

any advice much appreciated.
