When using the Date field in scripting, day (DD) and year (YYYY) designations must be in lower case. "DD" should be "dd" and "YYYY" should be "yyyy". For example, when the format MM/DD/YYYY is required in scripting, the format should actually be MM/dd/yyyy. This applies to all of the date formats that use day (DD) or year (YYYY) designations.
