Hi,

If you use %%$DATE - the $ adds century to the date format giving you YYYYMMDD.

Cheers,

Mark.

Look for:
%%SUBSTR
%%CALCDATE
%%$DATE
%%$NEXT
%%$ODATE
%%$OYEAR
%%$PREV
%%$RDATE
%%$RYEAR
%%$YEAR

RTFM

Check out the Job Parameter and Variable Reference Guide - it's got all sorts of goodies like these.

Download it from BMC if you don't already have it.

I complete the aswer with another variable that can be used:
%%CENT (is 20 until 2100 ...)

so AAAAMMDD = %%CENT.%%ODATE
or %%$DATE that is the system date, so if you have a New Day procedure at 10 a.m for example can be different ....
