Those legacy files are getting converted to CYYMMDD (not my choice). Synon/2E (aka Cool) uses a similar format to store dates. If I were doing work for V4R1+, I would use native date data types. This is what I'm using for my own tools, etc. on our V4R2 box. They are very compatible with SQL and therefore ODBC and various PC products...
