Convert date variable, in the form "JA11" to date in STATA

Convert date variable, in the form "JA11" to date in STATA

I have a data set that that has a date variable that is now in the form of
a two digit alphabetic abbreviation for the month followed by the two
digit numerical year, such as JA11 for January 2011. How can I convert
this to something STATA can recognize as a month/year date?
Thank you for your help.
