Samantha,
Thank you for your detailed explanation of the solution to my question. Your answer solved my problem and allowed me to understand the pre-session process better. Thanks again.

Logically, the date on the header applies to every line underneath. Start at the top of the map and go to edit, session rules. Pre-session, define your variable "datetime mydate;" or string if that's how you want it. Then in your DTM group when you have found the date you want to save use an extended rule to save that field contents to your date variable. mydate = #field; From there on out in the map you may use the variable mydate wherever you want and not have to worry about indexes and groups and what not. That, of course, is only because your particular example is easy and your date is right on the header.
