Description broy2 CLA 2011-10-07 11:26:32 EDT 
try
myDate = "0000110300";
SysLib.writeStdout(myDate); 
onException(oops anyexception)
SysLib.writeStdout(oops.message);
end
try
myDate = "110300";
SysLib.writeStdout(myDate); 
onException(oops anyexception)
SysLib.writeStdout(oops.message);
end 

RBD gives messages:

This is what is now being given as the exception message:

The value 0000110300 of type string cannot be converted to the type date.
The value 110300 of type string cannot be converted to the type date.
