Convert date from YYYYMMDD to CYYMMDD format



Hi list!

*BACKGROUND*
I have this line of code from Bob Cozzi's website that helps to convert a
date from YYYYMMDD to a YYMMDD format:
http://www.rpgiv.com/rpgivforum/view?SID=20070821133326694527&NRL=10&KW=myYYYYMMDD


myYYMMDD = %char(%date(myYYYYMMDD:*ISO0) : *YMD0)

Due to the nature of my source and target fields formats (STARTDATE [8.0]
and IDELNB [7.0]), I am using %DEC. In addition, the target field format
must be CYYMMDD so I am using *CYMD0. As a result, I modified the line a
little bit as follows:

IDELNB = %dec(%date(STARTDATE:*ISO0):*CYMD0)

*PROBLEM*
The issue that I have is that when I compile I have this message:
RNF7514 20 2 A Date, Time or Timestamp separator is not allowed with
a numeric entry.

These 2 errors are pointing to 2 different lines so that is why I have
errors listed but if I have this one cleared up, I will know how to
resolve the other one.

What I am doing wrong?

TIA,
