Angie,
  May I respectfully suggest that you use a data structure and MOVE?
Here's a data structure that I've settled on:
     I           IDS 
     I                                        1   80@YMD8 
     I                                        1   40@YR 
     I                                        3   40@YYYMD 
     I                                        3   80@YMD6 
     I                                        5  100@MDY6 
     I                                        5  120@MDY8 
     I                                        5   60@MM 
     I                                        7   80@DD 
     I                                        9  100@YYMDY 
     I                                        9  120@Y4MDY 
     C* Convert MMDDYY date to YYMMDD 
     C                     MOVE wrkmdy    @MDY6 
     C                     MOVE @YYMDY    @YYYMD 
     C* Convert YYMMDD date to MMDDYY 
     C                     MOVE wrkymd    @YMD6 
     C                     MOVE @YYYMD    @YYMDY 
     C* Convert MMDDYYYY date to YYYYMMDD 
     C                     MOVE wrkmdy8   @MDY8 
     C                     MOVE @Y4MDY    @YR
