Date is encoded as “MMDD”.
The year is taken from the name of the data set.
In MAWS sets, the date to be output in the encounter
record is the date of the actual encounter. During
months October, November, and December, the year will be
one less than the year taken from the file name. For
example, in set CHAF-2004-3, if an
encounter took place on date 10/15, the output date will
be 20031015, not 20041015.
