I assume you mean the fields coming in are character fields and have a value
like 4/4/09 and you need them to be 04/04/09.

I had to write a function in my string functions service program that take a
date and normalized it. Code is available if you are interested.

Wasn't quite sure of the search to use on the archives. I tried 'expanding
dates' but that was unproductive.

If you have an incomming date of 4/24/09 or 11/5/09 , where Month or Day is
zero suppressed. Is there a short way to get them accepted. Do they always
have to be 2 pos for month and day?
