Thanks, Barry and Gloria, for your suggestions. Still no luck. I'm getting this error: 3617: FORMAT 'YYYYMMDD' does not match the datatype. Here's my revised MLoad:

     .BEGIN IMPORT MLOAD TABLES JUNK;
     .LAYOUT MYJUNK;
     .FIELD IJUNK01             * CHAR (12);
     .FIELD IJUNK02             * CHAR (8);

     .DML LABEL MYUPSERT
     DO INSERT FOR MISSING UPDATE ROWS;
     UPDATE JUNK
       SET JUNK02 = :IJUNK02 (FORMAT'YYYYMMDD') WHERE JUNK01 = :IJUNK01;
     INSERT INTO JUNK
            (JUNK01, JUNK02) VALUES
            (:IJUNK01, :IJUNK02 (FORMAT'YYYYMMDD') );

I also tried the additional parenthesis and got the same error. An excerpt from the job log:

     15:10:36 UTY0817 MultiLoad submitting the following request:
     BT;
     15:10:36 UTY0817 MultiLoad submitting the following request:
     USING IJUNK01(CHAR(12)), IJUNK02(CHAR(8)) UPDATE JUNK
       SET JUNK02 = (:IJUNK02 (FORMAT'YYYYMMDD')) WHERE JUNK01 = :IJUNK01;
     15:10:36 UTY0805 RDBMS failure, 3617: FORMAT 'YYYYMMDD' does not match
     the datatype.

Here's my table definition:

     CREATE SET TABLE JUNK ,NO FALLBACK ,
          NO BEFORE JOURNAL,
          NO AFTER JOURNAL
          (
           JUNK01 CHAR(12) NOT CASESPECIFIC,
           JUNK02 DATE FORMAT 'MMDDYYYY')
     PRIMARY INDEX ( JUNK01 );

I've tried creating the table with and without the format parameter with no effect on the MLoad. Other ideas?
