RE: Date Validation

I get the following error with your code when used with the original
definitions for the fields and 5/7/2012 for date_in.

Date, Time or Timestamp value is not valid.

The %date won't process the month and day with only one digit for *usa.

Here's another way to get the "Date_out" from the test program below.

Date_out = %uns(%char(%date(Date_in:*usa):*iso0));

This works for 05/07/2012 and 5/7/2012.
