Unfortunately mdy/ is a system edit so you can't mess with it.  You could add some @wlf processing that checks for a slash - as in If:  myfield co "-" Then: myfield = myfield + 0; display.  If you have a bunch of date fields you may be able to associate them as say "A0)" so that you can use only one statement for this for all of your fields as in the following  @wlfA0) If:  myfield co "-" Then: myfield = myfield + 0; display
