I found a (most probably) regression:

1. date FILL-IN
2. SESSION:DATE-FORMAT='ymd'
3. format 999999
4. type in 012 and press TAB to force field validation

In OE there is no errors and the screen value is 24/01/02
In FWD this causes Invalid date input error, since the displayed value is has a space at the end of the line

The code most probably causing this is DateFormat.initScreen() function:

            if (isUnknown)
            {
               // Do NOT pad the rightmost component with spaces
               if (n < nComps - 1)
               {
                  for (int i = 0; i < compLength; i++)
                  {
                     sb.append(SPACE);
                  }
               }
            }

These extra spaces should not be appended for formats with no separators.
