Looks like it's a difference between rclerk and dclerk.

I get the results you got with dclerk:

'12/01/19'12/01/2019'/OV     '

but with rclerk, I get:

'12/01/19'12/01/2019'01102020'

(similar to what I had posted. Note that  the result was even
weirder from rclerk when when the result field is 10,mdyy/.)

I also tested this on 5.7 Linux - same thing.
