There are three kinds of date data formats, depending on the range ofyears that can be represented. This leads to the possibility of a dateoverflow or underflow condition occurring when the result of anoperation is a date outside the valid range for the target field. Theformats and ranges are as follows:

Number of Digits in Year  Range of Years
2 (*YMD, *DMY, *MDY, *JUL)  1940 to 2039
3 (*CYMD, *CDMY, *CMDY)  1900 to 2899
4 (*ISO, *USA, *EUR, *JIS, *LONGJUL)  0001 to 9999

Thanks for the help everyone!

I thought about using %Date, but I was concerned about the supported date
range for YMD dates. Do you know what date range %date supports for a YMD
date filed?

Would you be better served with either the

%date, %editc or %editw bif?

c eval wrk08a = %editc(emdoc: 'X') + %editc(emdoe: 'X')
or
c eval wrk08a = %date(emdoe: *ymd)

See if those do what you wish.
