Is anyone aware of incorrect behavior of some MPED date maniplulation
routines?

We are experiencing this misbehavior with both the YYYYMMDD and CDATE
functions

#DATEBUILD expects parms in yr,mo,da, returns YY/MM/DD, per mpex help
133 %     SETVAR ENDMNH DATEBUILD(TDYEAR,TDMTH,DAYMTH)

# ENDMNH now = 02/06/16, which is correct yy/mm/dd format for YYYYMMDD
134 %     SETVAR ENDMT YYYYMMDD(!ENDMNH)

# ENDMT now 20160206, which is incorrect, should be 20020616
135 %     SETVAR ENDMTH ENDMT

194 DAYMTH = 16
195 TDMTH = 6
196 TDYEAR = 2002

197 ENDMNH = 02/06/16
198 ENDMT = 20160206
