I wrote some mods to SETDATE to support LISTFILE's date format, as well as 
backslashes or exclamation marks for date separators so it works from FILELIST. 
 Perhaps even other date formats (don't recall from the car).

I should send them to the SETDATE author.

That's exactly it.  DMSPLU accepts only FULLDATE format--but with the
leading zeroes filled in.  On FILELIST file lines, it's impossible to
enter because of the slashes.  In commands built from LISTFILE
responses, the leading zeroes are missing.

(And of course the new FIXDATE was designed as a drop-in replacement for
the old one, which didn't have the same syntax as DMSPLU.)
