The "}" is a value-mark.
Did we know we could have multiple conversions,
separated by value marks?
Could probably tack an A or F conversion/correlative
code in there, too.
My favourite is to get CCYYMMDD format by date conversion,
then Mask-Character-Numeric to strip out the delimiters:
01 D some date field, output as CCYYMMDD
02 nnn
03 DYMD[4,2,2]}MCN
04
05 8R
Or in basic:
CCMMYDD = OCONV( Idate, 'DYMD[4,2,2]':@VM:'MCN' )
