Then something else is going on that you're not showing us.

Does field 5 contain today's date?  (And what is PFCMARK set to?)

If field 5 is (8,mdy/) and contains "06/07/12", then the result of:

     5 + "10"

is the date "06/17/12".  If field dd is (10,mdyy/) then

     dd = 5 + "10"

will result in "06/17/2012" being stored in field dd.  (Or "06/17/1912", 
depending on PFCMARK.)

Add the following immediately after the assignment:

     mesgbox "'" & 5 & "' " & fieldlen(-,"5") < fieldtype(-,"5")
         & "\n'" & dd & "' " & fieldlen(-,"dd") < fieldtype(-,"dd")
