then it is not a standard date format. Define it numerically and use an edit word.

There's no reason to define the "look" of a date in a PF. Just assign it as a "date" type, then retrieve it into the format you want when you need it.

I agree with FaStOnE, the field should just be a real date field in a file.

We had a funny person make date fields have a funny format (non *ISO). Now when ever anyone looks at one of the programs that uses this file, they get a chuckle.
