On 6.0 Express 1 you can use the new HPYYYYMMDD string variable.
On the above date you would get:
:showvar HPYYYYMMDD
HPYYYYMMDD = 20000101
An advantage of using this new variable versus concatenating the full
date from HPYYYY + HPMONTH + HPDAY, is that you do not need to be
concerned if your job is running at a day, month or year boundary.
The concatenation approach results in the wrong final date if
the day rolls to the next month in the middle of the equation.
