RE: How do I...

try change %char to %edit with edit code of 'X'.  Example:
%subst(%edit(#exdte :'X') :5, 2))
%subst(%edit(#exdte :'X') :1:4))
%subst(%edit(#extim :'X'):1:6))

%char does not retain leading 0.  Depending on what time you exec the program, 
you will get the error you indicated.

This was working yesterday when I had the library hard coded.

Kimaly,
*LIBL does not work on a FTP PUT command.
