Date Data Type Question

[bvining@xxxxxxxxxxxx]

Mark,

Changing the MOVE factor 1 *YMD to *MDY should do the trick (factor one
describes the layout of factor 2 (UDATE) in this situation).  Note though
that JobDate is a Date, not a numeric like UDATE, so you'll have
separators, etc. as it is currently coded.
