Bob,

As you can see from the following this does nothing on my machine.

C:\WINDOWS\TEMP>set yyy=%DATE%

C:\WINDOWS\TEMP>set
TMP=C:\WINDOWS\TEMP
TEMP=C:\WINDOWS\TEMP
PROMPT=$p$g
winbootdir=C:\WINDOWS
PATH=C:\WINDOWS;C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND
COMSPEC=C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND.COM
windir=C:\WINDOWS

C:\WINDOWS\TEMP>set yyy=%DATE:~4,2%

C:\WINDOWS\TEMP>set
TMP=C:\WINDOWS\TEMP
TEMP=C:\WINDOWS\TEMP
PROMPT=$p$g
winbootdir=C:\WINDOWS
PATH=C:\WINDOWS;C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND
COMSPEC=C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND.COM
windir=C:\WINDOWS

C:\WINDOWS\TEMP>

regards,

Robert W.Mills
