Retreiving system date in USA format

I have been attempting to figure out how to retrieve the current system date 
and assign it to a display file, but am running into trouble.

This needs to display in *USA format.

Here is what I did:

* first declare standalone
Dmydate   s     D    datfmt(*usa)

in the C specs I had the following

eval        mydate = *date

move       mydate     ddate

I keep getting an error that the two sides of the eval do not 
match....suggestions?
