Is there a way to tell the system to use '/' instead of '-' ina DATE
field?

It shouldn't actually matter to the end result. A DATE field is a DATE field regardless of the format in which you provide the data. Using '-' separators will give a valid date.

However, to answer your question:

STRSQL
F13=Services
1. Change session attributes

Date format . . . . . . . . . *ISO *JOB, *USA, *ISO, *EUR, *JIS
*MDY, *DMY, *YMD, *JUL

Take your choice--although I doubt you'll get yyyy/mm/dd accepted because that's a dumb (and unsupported) format. You can get mm/dd/yyyy to work but that's also a dumb format--it just happens to be a supported one.

Note that I'm presuming you're using Interactive SQL to do your practice. If it's something else then you'd better say what you're using.
