I think this is right.. just off the top of my head.. ..

If i remember correctly the number of 0 total to one less than the digits in 
the date and the  number of dec.. decides how
much is to be moved.... also the number of 0's before the dec is the number 
to not move.. then you move right into a
8.0 field.. which will truncate the leading numbers and the dec numbers.. 
hope this helps...
