I am having trouble with getting a date format into MM/DD/YYYY format after I have done an AYMD on it. See the following code. The &DATELIM field calculates the correct date, now I want this field to convert to a different format to display in the header of a report. The &DAYS is a variable day value that the user will input.

Thanks

 -SET &DATELIM=AYMD(&YYMD,&DAYS*-1,'YYMD');
DEFINE FILE CAR
ToLimit/YYMD=&YYMD;
FromLimit/MDYY=DATECVT(&DATELIM, 'YYMD', 'MDYY');
END
TABLE FILE CAR
-*ON TABLE NOTOTAL
SUM
     CAR.BODY.RETAIL_COST
BY  CAR.ORIGIN.COUNTRY
BY  ToLimit
BY  FromLimit
END

Why not just use the Smart Date to subtract the days.

DEFINE FILE CAR
ToLimit/YYMD=&YYMD;
FromLimit/MDYY=ToLimit - &DAYS;
END
TABLE FILE CAR
-*ON TABLE NOTOTAL
SUM
     CAR.BODY.RETAIL_COST
BY  CAR.ORIGIN.COUNTRY
BY  ToLimit
BY  FromLimit
END
