Distinguished listers,

I was running over a Y2K test script when I noticed something funny.  I have
looked it over several times and I think that I am doing everything
correctly.  There is either a Y2K issue with MPEX's date formatting or I am
missing something.

959_sys_%setvar date today + 7
959_sys_%showvar date
DATE = 00/01/06            **this is the date that I expected to see**
959_sys_%setvar date2 strwrite(!date:'%4Y%0M%0D')  **format the date to
YYYYMMDD**
959_sys_%SHOWVAR DATE2
DATE2 = 19000106  **oops!  Why are we all of the sudden in the 1900's??**
959_sys_%

Anybody have an idea??
