When creating a framework for a form type other than book, it does not seem
possible to autogenerate the date correctly. The 00-05 ‘date entered on file’
in the 008 field, can almost be auto-filled by using the code
<<YYYY>><<MM>><<DD>>. However it doesn’t quite work because the 008 field
expects a 6 digit date [YYMMDD] – this code inserts an 8 digit date [YYYYMMDD].

e.g. <<YY>><<MM>><<DD>> b        at |||p  |||||00|   eng d 
= entered on the date <<29>><<11>><<25>>

This creates the following data in a record:
<<YY>>1125 b        at |||p  |||||00|   eng d

Is it possible to make this date code work to insert a date comprising 6
digits?
