      C     *MDY0         TEST (D)                Char_Date              19

 this works fine in V3R7 itself.

What os version are you running?  v4r3 allows you to specify a date format 
as per the manual:
     
*  Indicator 19 will not be set on, since the character field is a
     
|    *  valid *MDY date, without separators.
     
|   C     *MDY0         TEST (D)                Char_Date              19
