I found this command file on our system, and it's a fair example of the
simplest way of doing this outside of MPEX.
 
setvar md_date '!hpyear'
if hpmonth<10 then
  setvar md_date md_date+'0!hpmonth'
else
  setvar md_date md_date+'!hpmonth'
endif
if hpdate<10 then
  setvar md_date md_date+'0!hpdate'
else
  setvar md_date md_date+'!hpdate'
endif
