Terri1977,
You can probably replace TEMPX with your Date Column in the FPRINT function; I did the TEMPX to test the code:

COMPUTE TEMPX/YYMD='20180629';
COMPUTE DATE_01/A20= EDIT(FPRINT(TEMPX,'DMTYY','A20'),'99-$999$-$9999');

It is a DB field, the field is called SSRMEET_START_DATE and the format is HYYMDS

This is BANNER, convert with HDATE 1st...

COMPUTE TEMPX/YYMD = HDATE(SSRMEET_START_DATE, 'YYMD');

COMPUTE DATE_01/A20= EDIT(FPRINT(TEMPX,'DMTYY','A20'),'99-$999$-$9999');

Easey-Peasey...

EDIT: Added COMPUTE for TEMPX / Can be a DEFINE as well...

Another way that gives you the leading zero on the Day portion ...

DTS/HYYMDS = SSRMEET_START_DATE;
NEW_DTE/A11 = HNAME(DTS,'DAY','A2')|'-'|HNAME(DTS,'MONTH','A3')|'-'|HNAME(DTS,'YEAR','A4');
