Much of my data comes in the common format SYMB,UD,XX,HH,LL,NAV,VV.
I just now tested it on some data with the UD field set to 000115.
I got an error message "could not update any investments".
I tried a number of alternatives. The only ones that worked involved replacing
000115 by "2000/01/15" (described in the format statement as "YY/MM/DD") or
"15/01/2000" (described as "DD/MM/YY"). I assume that the MMDDYY equivalent works too.

In other words, it seems that (unless there is a fuller patch) I will have to pre-process all my data or try to arrange to get it
with the date in a different format. Or am I missing something?

I have Fund Manager 3.4 for Win95.
