Using RPG /Free how do I get an ISO variable into a non-date 8,0 variable in *USA format

I'm trying to write as much of my program within /Free but I hit a wall on
something I thought I could do using the bif %date.

All I want to do is put an ISO date field and store it in *USA format in an
8,0 variable.

I thought it would be as simple as;

v_Numeric8 = %date(v_Iso: *USA);

(Okay, I noticed after a compile failure and checking the manual that this
bif is for converting  from a character/numeric to a date field)

Am I forced to do the /endfree and then

*USA    move    v_Iso    v_Numeric8
