DTMMDDYY is not the same as DTYYMMDD(your column contents).
But you are right about the <DATE> working "again" in v6.5+.
It didn't give proper results in earlier versions, at least not with some ASCII formats
(too after trying 180+ odd times) and at that time it was better to omit and use
the DTxxxxxx header instead(naturaly, only if you would spell the digits correctly !!).
Did you now Convert from ASCII to MSK or from Excel to MSK?
Did you also use the Fund Name column header?
Didn't Convert protest with errors?
