[EpiData-list] selecting by month

[epidata-list at lists.umanitoba.ca]

Dear member in the group

I would like to select records based on the month 
value from a date variable with the following format "mm/dd/yyyy".
I would like to use something like this:

IF DC [1,2]="01" THEN MES="EN"
IF DC [1,2]="02" THEN MES="FE"
IF DC [1,2]="03" THEN MES="MA"

This is in epiinfo 6. DC is the date variable

I will appreciate your help.
