I am in need of converting a system date to a six digit numeric....

So if the system date is say 04/14/06 I need to convert it to a 041406 
numeric type...

I thought about doing it by using a move statement with *MDY in factor one 
but I don't believe that will work as I would have to use 10 digits for the 
date.

the problem is we have some display files that there is not enough room to 
allow for a four digit year and I am not prepared at this time to re-write 
the entire file.

Suggestions or hints?


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