The problem is that you are not passing a date to EOM().  Rather, you are 
simply passing it a string that "looks" like a date -- "10/01/2013".  And, 
even then, is it "October 1" or "January 10"?  Because you are not passing 
it a date, you get the EOM of the current date, which coincidentally is also 
October.

ExpDate = foobar(12){"/01/"{foobar(13)
ExpDate = EOM(ExpDate)
