    replace - could be specified as an option for cal. cal does not generate
        a data set in Stata. However when replace is specified, a dataset
        consisting of the year, month, day and date of the specified year is
        created in Stata.

    y - year should be between 100 to 9999. If year is not specified Stata
        would display the calendar according to the current date on the
        computer.
