Hi:
Suggest you look up INFORMATS for dates. The form that your date is in does not appear to fall into the DATE normal representation. You might need to switch to a different date informat. Also, you need the colon modifier for ALL of your VALUE variables, too (not just the DATUM variable). Anything you read with an informat should use the : modifier.
