Perfect! Now where can I find documentation on the interface to use
them?

MAPICS has two programs used to retrieve and format dates.

AXZPDR is used to retrieve the current MAPICS date and time.  It also
retrieves the tailored date format code.

AXZDT is used to format dates between *USER (ie. MMDDYY) and *FILE (ie.
CYYMMDD) formats.  It has parms for input date, output date, the date
format code retrieved from AXZPDR and the type of formatting you would
like to do.  (This program also has other functions such as calculating
a date given a date and number of days)

If you do not use these programs, be careful with job date for
unattached jobs.  Unattached jobs will have a job date of the date the
job started - it's not necessarily the current date.
