Changing date from YYYY-MM-DD to YYYYMMDD without dashes

[orangekitty]

I have a date variable that is currently formatted as YYYY-MM-DD, and is already a date/numeric variable type. 

How can I change the format to YYYYMMDD without the dashes separating the year, month, and day?

Use YYMMDDN8. as display format.

Just change the format when you use the variable, or when you create the data set. 

Use format YYMMDDN8.

By the way, your title implies you want three-digit year, you can't have that of course. This gives you a 4 digit year.
