%DATE came out at V5R1 - it is the same all the way to 7.1, haven't checked 7.2.

I am lost here. If we have a numeric value, why are we converting it to an
alpha value?

d NumDate...
d s 8p 0 Inz(20140101)
d DateField...
d s d
d NumDateUSA...
d s 8p 0
d NumDateAlpha...
d s 10a Inz('01/01/2014')
DateField = %Date(NumDate:*ISO); // or whatever format you need.

// convert to *USA format.

NumDateUSA = %Dec(%Date(NumDate:*ISO):*USA);

NumDateUSA should be 01012014.

DateField = %Date(NumDateAlpha:*USA/);

etc.
