You can make use of the Y2W(mmddyy) or Y2T(yymdd) formats which takes care of the CC part during a date arithmetic with 6 byte date fields.
Here is the results from a sample test.
SORTOUT
Like Bill suggested, you can simply hard-code the date if this is a one-time activity and forget about the calculation. Also I'd use ICETOOL as Pandora suggested to put it in one step if you have 20 or more input AND output files.
