It has to be set BEFORE you enter MPEX.  You should probably do it as a
variable as well.

Lee,

I set the jcw but I still get the same results.

959_sys_%showjcw vesoftyearbase
VESOFTYEARBASE = 1950
959_sys_%set date,YMD
959_sys_%SETVAR DATE TODAY + 7
959_sys_%SHOWVAR DATE
DATE = 00/01/06
959_sys_%setvar date2 strwrite(!date:'%4Y%0M%0D')
959_sys_%SHOWVAR DATE2
DATE2 = 19000106

I am on version 27N81128.  Waht version are you using?  By the way, Vesoft
had me use the cdate function which works perfectly.
