Subject: Re: EDI dates
This is a somewhat obscure point that few realize. X12.6 defines supports
dates in both YYMMDD and CCYYMMDD formats. So, the overall syntax supports
using either. Specific data elements like DE 373, which carries the date in
the DTM segment, only support CCYYMMDD.
So, the answer is yes.
