Tim, something else must be wrong with your code using %EditC and
%Date.  Maybe you could post your code.

Those two builtin functions do take complex qualified names.  Try
compiling the program below.

d ds1             ds                  qualified             
d  num                           8p 0 inz(20040627)         
D ds2             ds                  qualified             
D  sub                                likeds(ds1) inz(*likeds)
D date            s               d                         
D string          s             20a                         
 /free                                                      
        string = %editc(ds2.sub.num : 'P');                 
        date = %date(ds2.sub.num);                          
        *inlr = '1';
