I am wondering if it would be possible to pull in the system date into a 
*USA format by defining the variable as a date with the DATFMT(*USA) and 
then using an eval statement similar to the following:

MYDATE         S           L         DATFMT(*USA)

EVAL   MYDATE = %date(%date:*USA)


If you bought it, it was hauled by a truck - somewhere, sometime.
