I tried using HDate to get my DateTime to only MDYY and then used the EDIT function to manipulate the date to MM/YYYY with no success.
Any further guidance is greatly appreciated.

Look at the datetime functions in this link

In particular you might want to consider HDATE and then pop the result in a field with MYY format.

You could use HPART(datetime, 'component', output) to get the specific parts of the datetime field like Month, Year Day, et cetera.

You could still use EDIT, but you'll have to use it twice: Once to convert from numeric to alpha and then again with a mask to extract the date.

If this is a field a sql database, try adding a row to the master that defines the field as a date instead of a datetime field. I do it all the time.
  FIELD=AS_BEGDTTM  , STRT_DT           , HYYMDS, HYYMDS            ,$
  FIELD=AS_BEGDT    , STRT_DT           , YYMD  , DATE              ,$


then print AS_BEGDT like this:
 PRINT AS_BEGDT/MYY
