I have a date field with "yymmdd" format. I want to programatically convert
that to text that looks identical to the formatted date for use in
dimensioned variables/strings.
e.g. - date 6/10/2008 formatted looks like "080610". I want to use a/the
text string "080610" for various other uses. Can anyone help?
