To answer the "why" it's because that's the way it was in DDS. You could
define different date fields within the same file with different date
formats, and that determined how the date was displayed. I _always_ store
dates in *ISO format unless there's a compelling reason not to. In this
case, this new file is ultimately going to be FTP'ed weekly to another
company. They want the tran date as mm/dd/yyyy. For my own purposes I put
a RPTDATE (report date, *ISO) field into the file so later I would know what
transactions were sent on what date. I'll just handle the date conversion
when I transmit.
