Some of your trading partners may be using an older standard which requires YYMMDD.  A 
rule of thumb is that X12 standards through 003071 used YYMMDD.  CCYYMMDD began with 
003072, though most of us skipped right to 004010.

on the qualifier associated with the date.

A quick one.

What is the proper format for dates for 6 and 8 digit dates ?

Is it YYMMDD and CCYYMMDD?

Thanks,
