I think you may wish to check this further.

When I was looking at something similar, I hit a problem
because the integer returned is of course not 0-padded on the left.
So, is it (2000116) November 6th or is it January 16th??
Statistically it may be unlikely to cause a problem,
but if it could happen even once and that would mess you
up bad, then you better pre-pad the month and day with 0 when necessary.

This is part of a general theme.
You can't strip out punctuation ( dates use / - ) and not pad (0) instead --
not unless you have a pretty sophisticated encoding process,
which is rare enough.
It's similar with escape codes in strings and so forth.
We often want to have our cake and eat it too.
Unicode makes everything two bytes and that has the
advantage of simplicity. But it bites in certain applications
where bandwidth or storage is precious. Escape systems
potentially offer more flexibility, but they also introduce complexity.
C-strings suck, too. Great, they can be of indefinite length.
But that also means you can't quickly get the length of the
string without scanning the whole thing. And because there's
no escape-encoding of the 0-terminator, you can't use any
of those in a string. And even though it's only 1 special
character that's restricted, it ruins so many applications.
And of course there isn't a c-programmer alive who
hasn't run right of the end of his string and corrupted
his memory. It's a hell of a lot of fun, actually,
a bit like bungy-jumping. Goodness gracious,
I hope there's a zero at the end of this thing!
I remember years ago trying to send a zero in part of
a printer-setup command sequence, and because dbase was
written in c, you couldn't send it to the printer at all.
Actually there was a work-around, but you had to write
and assemble little assembly language scripts and
load them in at run-time. I'm sure others could come
up with loads of similar horror stories.
The day c disappears from the planet will be a happy one.
One day we'll look on it with feelings akin to the way
we feel today about COBOL.
