Re: more date stuff

Hi Cindy,
In your %date bif, the *USA/ is telling the compiler that crdate is in mm/dd/yyyy format, but you've initialized it without the slashes.
You can either initialize it with slashes, or change the format to *USA0 (that's a zero on the end) which says there are no slashes in crdate.
