------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 C Prototype

     #include "item.api"
     ITEM _itemPutDS(
                      ITEM itemDate,
                      BYTEP fpDate
                    )

 Arguments

     itemDate is the Item into which you want to place the date string.
     If this Item is NULL, a new Item will be created.

     fpDate is a zero-terminated string representing the date to assign
     to the new Item.  The format of fpDate must be YYYYMMDD.

 Returns

     A new date Item reference containing the date passed.

 Description

     The _itemPutDS() function is used to place a zero-terminated string date
     into an Item.  If the date string is malformed, the new date Item will
     be set to a NULL date.

     Caution!  Do not assume that the address in itemDate will be the
     same address returned by _itemPutDS().
