In the 837 Implementation Guide(s) all dates are in a 35 byte DTP03 field
format.  There are only two qualifiers available for use, 'D8' - date
expressed in CCYYMMDD format or 'RD8' -  date range expressed in CCYYMMDD -
CCYYMMDD format.  We have expanded every date field on our internal common
claim record to support the maximum field length of 35 bytes however, we
question how / when all 35 bytes would ever be populated.  

Any idea?  Thanks.
