RE: *MDY into an 8 digit date.

That should be LEFT 2 positions (not right).

Maybe you need to initialise EightDigits before the Move.  It looks as if
the Move is populating only the right 6 positions of the field, overwriting
an ISO date which was already in there.  Unless, of course, the Move changes
the format after populating the field but does not clear the right 2
positions, which would seem unlikely.

Shouldn't the contents of EightDigits be 011702 and not 20011702?
