%DATE{(expression{:date-format})}
%DATE converts the value of the expression from character, numeric, or
timestamp data to type date. The converted value remains unchanged,
but is returned as a date.

hthdte = %date(MRPDATE:*ISO);

Our MRP database stores dates in CYYMMDD as numeric. In the past we did
this:

C Eval Date8 = MRPDate
C Move Date8 Hthdte
C Adddur 60:*Days Hthdte
C Move Hthdte Date8
C Eval Newdte = Date8

I have recently been using Free format and can not find a solution using
free.

I searched the archives & could only find taking a date field to numeric,
not numeric to a date field.

Thanks
